About Maura

I grew up in Los Angeles, California.
I always knew I wanted to work in the public service field.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in political science and women’s studies from Brown University and later went back to school for my law degree.
I spent most of my career in public service through the government, including working for the White House, the U.S. Department of State, and the Clinton Foundation.
Later in my career, I realized that there were so many opportunities to effect change outside of government, both in the nonprofit and corporate sectors.
After spending almost 10 years working for the Clinton Foundation, I joined Blackstone Charitable Foundation as executive director.
