Our Story
Our Story Began With Mentorship
Maria has had the privilege of being mentored and inspired by exceptional dietitians in long-term care whose leadership, courage, and commitment to seniors shaped not only her career — but the vision and values of Orange Lily Group itself. Their example taught her that strong clinical practice must be paired with compassion, innovation, and the willingness to challenge the status quo. That mentorship laid the foundation for building an organization grounded in excellence, dignity, and meaningful change. Through their influence, Maria was able to unite her passion for food security and seniors’ nutrition through The Giving Garden Project, now a registered non-profit organization. Through the partnership between Orange Lily Group and The Giving Garden Project, her understanding of food deepened - not just as nourishment, but as identity, memory, and connection. Food shapes our preferences, our traditions, and the people we gather with at the table. Maria believes in the power of food beyond its physical purposes; not only can it satisfy, but it can honour identity, preserve culture, foster belonging and remind us of the comforts of home.
That belief is deeply personal.
Maria often reflects, “I hope that one day, when I live in a long-term care home, one of the foods that reminds me of my family will be available to me.” This simple meal brings her back to childhood mornings when her dad would wake up early to make breakfast for her and her sister before school. It was food that represented connection on a plate. Those moments shaped her understanding that food is one of the most powerful ways we show up for one another.
As a woman of colour, Maria’s experience with mentorship holds particular meaning. The women leaders who supported her encouraged her to challenge the status quo and forge a path that creates greater opportunity for others. Inspired by their example, she now encourages fellow dietitians and health professionals to move beyond traditional expectations and lead meaningful change that supports the wellbeing of seniors in LTC. One of the very first initiatives Maria championed when she started at OLG was simple but significant: ensuring that residents who grew up eating rice with their meals had access to it. Because something as simple as rice is never just rice. Every resident deserves the comfort, dignity, and connection that a delicious meal can provide.
One key lesson Maria shares is simple yet powerful: believe in the people you work with and support their dreams — because anyone can change the world. This belief reflects the spirit of care and compassion embodied in the symbol of our orange lily.
