‘O ne - on -O ne C onnection I s E ssential ’ Meet Maria Sanjurjo Maria Sanjurjo joined The Manely Firm as a Client Care Coordinator in 2019, wondering where life would take her next after leaving a job in sales. But she was a natural at connecting with potential clients who call the office. For the past year, she has worked as the firm’s Client Care Coordinator Manager, overseeing the team that acts as each client’s first point of contact with our office. The Client Care Coordinator position is about “helping potential clients figure out their priorities and what they want out of life,” Maria says. “We want to know what their best-case scenario would be.” Though she is now in a supervisory role, Maria still talks to potential clients as much as possible. “Having that one-on-one connection is essential,” she says. “You lose sight of what they’re feeling if your focus is solely on numbers.” Maria is a first-generation immigrant with Panamanian and Puerto Rican parents. “My parents instilled their work ethic, culture, and language in me,” she says. Her Spanish fluency is also extremely useful in her work. “We have a lot of clients from Latin America,” Maria explains. “They’re already so stressed, and it’s helpful to speak their native language and not have to worry about a miscommunication that might happen in English.” Spanish is also a priority for Maria and her husband, Dario, who is from Uruguay. It’s the only language they speak at home, so their daughter Celia, who Maria says is “7 going on 15,” will be bilingual. Outside of work, Maria loves salsa music and watching fútbol — or soccer, as Americans call it. She roots for her husband’s home country. “This past summer during the World Cup, I sent Dario updates on what was happening,” she says. “We were bitterly disappointed when Uruguay was eliminated.” Maria reports that one of her favorite things about The Manely Firm is the staff’s closeness. “The people here are genuinely nice,” she says, “and you don’t find that everywhere.” She also notes that concern for others shows in the firm’s work. “The Manely Firm is focused on helping families make sure they’re in a position to start their next life phase in a good frame of mind,” Maria says. “Things may not have worked out how you wanted them to, but we can help you get through it and move on with your life to something better.”
