Whether she's working in radio or television, Maria Garcia shines as a bilingual professional in the exhilarating world of electronic media. A born extrovert, scoring laughs comes easily to Maria, but it is her disarming honesty and approachable nature which captivates audiences and keeps 'em coming back for more.
Currently, you can find Maria right here on KJOY, but her resume reads like a "who's who" of media powerhouses, including New York’s 1010 WINS, Long Island’s 106.1 WBLI-FM, Long Island’s 97.5 WALK-FM, and South Florida’s WFLC-FM 97.3 The Coast. Maria is also the author of "101 Ways to Torture Your Husband," (Adams Media/Jan 18, 2010) which she hopes will be a national best-seller! (Find out info about the book - and order it - here!)
When she's not busy juggling her hectic schedule, Maria is devoted to helping local charities and spending quality time with her family.
