I'm a motoring journalist and popular media commentator on motoring topics. I've appeared on BBC Breakfast, BBC News Channel, ITN, Sky, Good Morning Britain, Radio 4/You and Yours, Jeremy Vine, The Today Program, the BBC World Service and BBC Central News Service (CNS). I've carried out over 2,000 radio interviews and am very popular with the local BBC stations.
I've also been shortlisted for 10 major motoring journalism awards, most recently Newspress Automotive's EV writer of the year and Automotive journalist of the year 2023. 

I really enjoy working with clients and broadcast studios to create a successful broadcast PR day. I've acted as an independent spokesperson for a wide range of companies including Halfords, Garmin, Autotrader, Green Flag, Nextbase, and many car insurance and car finance companies including Admiral and Direct Line. My style is well-informed but also lively and entertaining. 

A big thank you to Maria for being our spokesperson for our women and their cars campaign. Maria's knowledge was second to none, she completely brought the research to life and all the interviews went really well.

Yours was the first name suggested when we were looking for someone to cover the topic - so it's safe to say we hold you in high regard.

Good Morning Britain, ITV

Maria was a pleasure to work with on the radio day. She did an excellent job and in some of the interviews really made me laugh - a very engaging spokesperson talking on what can be an extremely dry topic.

Thanks for giving a great live interview about the anniversary of the driving test - much appreciated.

Maria was fantastic. A real pro who came across very well in interviews and understood exactly what we needed to get out of the day. She proved a good draw for the media and I'd recommend her in a second!

3 Monkeys PR

Maria was brilliant and the feedback from the radio stations was really positive as well.
