BOARD OFFICER
My name is Maria Pandolfi. I am a U.S. Navy veteran, licensed real estate agent serving Southwest Florida and Pennsylvania, and a former psychotherapist transitioning into life coaching focused on helping people navigate life transitions with confidence and purpose.
As a Filipino-American, I deeply value community, culture, and the importance of supporting one another. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about helping individuals and families through major life changes—whether it's finding a home, adjusting to a new chapter in life, or simply having someone who listens and cares.
I hope to contribute to this group by sharing my experience in leadership, mentoring, wellness, community outreach, and event planning. I also look forward to volunteering, supporting fundraising efforts, and helping create programs that bring people together across generations.
Most of all, I am excited to build friendships, celebrate our Filipino heritage, and work alongside all of you to make a positive difference in our community.
Thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Mabuhay!
