Maggie was born in Baltimore, MD on May 15, 1990. She attended the Performing Arts Magnet school program as a middle schooler where she blossomed and thrived.

She graduated from Loch Raven High School in 2008 and attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania majoring in nursing with minors in psychology and choral music.

Her career path started as a certified sailing instructor followed by serving in a volunteer capacity and then employed at Sheppard Pratt Health System as a credentialing coordinator for the medical staff.  She left healthcare during the pandemic and became a seamstress.  Her journey ended at Quantum Sails in Annapolis where took her love of theater and sewing and merged it with her passion for sailing.
