Maria Rangel

Maria is a mother to three wonderful children who have taught her to see life in three very different ways through their growth. One of Maria’s greatest passions is welcoming new parents who share the unique experience of having a child who experiences a disability. She also likes to support parents to feel empowered and connected to support their children. Her passion developed when she first became a mother to her daughter who experiences Down syndrome, and it has led her to do the kind of work that she has done for the past ten years. Maria is excited to join the FACT Oregon team and to being able to continue supporting her community as the Bilingual Program Specialist.
