Maria St. John

Maria began her career in the hospitality industry with Marriott Hotels, where she discovered her love for working in the field and connecting with people. Her ability to build relationships and support individuals through major life transitions led her to become a relocation specialist, a role that reinforced her commitment to service and operational support. Maria has been part of the GDS team for five years, bringing warmth, attention to detail, and a strong service-oriented mindset to her work each day. Her varied background and dedication to supporting others make her a valued member of the GDS team.  

Originally born in the Philippines, Maria moved to Los Angeles at just one year old and eventually made her way to Dallas in 2015, where she has built a life she enjoys. She recently got married and enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, especially hiking the scenic trails around Lake Grapevine. With a daughter in high school, Maria stays active and enjoys discovering new outdoor activities to share as a family. A dedicated breakfast enthusiast, she is always on the lookout for new local spots to try.
