Maria is responsible for all internal and external communications that promote and protect the brand across Publix’s seven-state operating area and almost 1,300 store locations.
She began her Publix career in 1990 at the age of 14 as a front-service clerk. In 2002, she took charge of her passion of Publix people and the communities they serve and became the face and voice of Publix as the media and community relations manager for their Miami division. She spent two years in the diverse market building strong media and community relationships. In 2004, she was promoted to director of media and community relations, and in 2020 named director of communications.
With a bachelor’s degree in English from Florida Atlantic University and more than 30 years of grocery retail experience, one thing has remained the same – her desire to serve her customers and to continue to make Publix a great place to work and shop!
