Our guest this episode is the amazing Maria Mwangi. Now Vice President at Warehouse 215 but with long career of achievements for such a young leader. Her award winning event expertise originally started as a hobby in the early 1990's. Maria began her career as a top-producing loan officer and mortgage underwriter for 14 years.

During this time, she entered the event world through her church, which allowed her to organize everything from Health Fairs, Carnivals, to Romantic Weddings and Large-Scale Conferences. Shortly after the housing crisis of 2008, Maria moved to San Antonio, Texas where she formally transitioned her career into Event Management. During this time, Maria swept across industries and gathered over 6 Best in San Antonio Awards, 2 Texas Star awards, and 1 International Award from the distinguished International Live Events Association.

Her events have been covered in magazines such as the San Antonio Weddings Magazine as well as several other publications which can be found on our Press page. After arriving in Arizona, Maria hit the ground running, immediately winning a Zonies Award for The Best Event Collaboration in Arizona. Maria worked as the Director of Sales for Live Nation in the Phoenix Market before arriving at Warehouse215. Maria just debuted her latest book with a team of collaborators named "Building Me While Building It" and has several more written projects in the works.
