Maria Cahuenas
Director of Victim Services
Maria was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, where she completed her studies in Clinical Psychology at Universidad de San Francisco de Quito. Then, in 2016, she moved to Albuquerque and began working with children who were victims of trauma. Through her work with the children, she realized that most of them lived in homes where domestic violence was a daily reality. This realization ultimately brought her to DVRC, where she is inspired daily to work with vulnerable populations, aiding in the mission to break the cycle of domestic violence.
