Maria Goodwin
Educational Assistant

Ms. Goodwin was born and raised on the east coast along the beaches of New Jersey. Growing up, a full house was constant— aunts, uncles, cousins…she wouldn’t have it any other way! She loves to be around others and add a smile to their day. She realized her passion for childcare and education at a young age as she became a nanny for a beloved family for six years. Ms. Goodwin went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. In the years following, she gained valuable lessons while exploring her passions professionally. This took her from managing small, environmentally conscious restaurants to leading an incredible group of 7th grade students through their science instruction where she had a focus in Special Education. Now she is so excited to have joined the SEEQS team and be working alongside such devoted educators and enthusiastic students. She truly believes in every student's ability to thrive and that tapping into their individuality will help them blossom. On the weekends you can find her reading a book, at the gym, or soaking up the sunshine at the beach (with that book!)

"I work at SEEQS because I truly believe in each student and their infinite potential to make this world a better place. SEEQS encourages its students to have their own voice and to have that voice be heard— and with that, so much magic can unfold! I consider myself lucky to be a part of that."
