Executive Director and Founder

Maritza Morelli

It is no surprise that Maritza Morelli found herself at the helm of a non-profit organization like Los Niños Primero. She is, at her core, a charismatic problem solver and compassionate advocate for education. Her professional journey began in Venezuela with a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and a Master’s degree in Child Psychology. Maritza’s foremost passion was clear: she has always wanted to help people to be happy, successful adults. In Maritza’s opinion, the most effective way to do this is by working with children. Developmental years are the most crucial for preventative work.
