Maria Lozano
Area 50 Director

I am Maria Lozano. I have worked in the music industry for over 30 years, and it was the realization that I continually declined invitations to be in industry panels due to my fear of public speaking that prompted me to join Toastmasters in May 2021. Since joining Toastmasters, I ran for Secretary in my condominium’s Executive Board and won and have since participated in two music industry panels.

At my club, Miami Dade Toastmasters, Club 8251, I served as Secretary (2021 – 2022), Vice President of Education (2022 – 2023) and President and VPE (2023 – 2024). I am also the Division E Shooting Star recipient for 2021 – 2022.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts from the City University of New York at Hunter College and I’m fully bilingual in Spanish and English. I live with my husband and two children in Miami, FL.
