Room to Improve with Maria Garcia
Human beings aren' t perfect we all have flaws from bad memories to stoping at a drive thru to often. What matters is that we recognize our flaws and try our best to improve ourselves. On this episode join me as I sit down with Maria Garcia as she shares her journey as an ER Doctor, how that knowledge helped her when she suddenly lost feeling in her legs due to a blood clot in the spinal cord, her life as a T-10 Paraplegic in her home country of Spain, advocating for the disability community in English, Spanish and so much more.

Disability advocate
I’m a 52 years old Spanish ER doctor. I had a complete T10 spinal cord injury in 2012 that left me paralysed from my waist down. I’ve worked hard to carrot and adjust my daily routine to the new life I had as a wheelchair user and since then, I’m a committed advocate for the rights and inclusion of disabled people in society.
I believe education is key to make the world a more diverse, respectful and welcoming place.
I’m also an avid reader, passionate baker and colorist and I love learning about different topics. There’s always room for improvement!
