Background

About Maria Ratliff

I’m a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B) in pediatric transport, with a B.S. in Biology from West Chester University. Passionate about child-focused healthcare, I’m pursuing a career in pediatric medicine and actively building hands-on experience in both clinical and community-based settings. I serve on the Board of Directors for a non-profit, which supports medical, nutritional, and educational programs in Guatemala. I also volunteer with the Community Youth and Women’s Alliance (CYWA), proudly contributing to initiatives that uplift women and children in the Coatesville community. My background includes interpreting at St. Agnes Health Clinic, volunteering with 32Volcanes, and supporting the Heart Valve Clinic and COVID Vaccine Center at Chester County Hospital. I’ve interned at Pfizer, conducted ecosystem health research at Cabrini University, and was President of a campus mental health awareness club. These experiences continue to shape my commitment to pediatric care and expanding my medical skillset.
