North End
Maria Perez is a third-generation North End resident. As the Liaison for the North End, West End, and Wharf District in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Maria serves as a vital connection between City Hall and the communities she knows so well. Her work focuses on ensuring residents’ voices are heard, city services are accessible, and neighborhood pride is honored.
Maria is a graduate of Boston Public Schools and has deep roots in community work. She spent five years working with youth and families in Chinatown and previously served at the Nazzaro Community Center, where she oversaw youth and teen programming and dedicated countless volunteer hours giving back to the very place that helped shape her.
Her commitment to public service is inspired by her family: her father worked in the City’s Public Works Department, and her grandfather was Deputy Commissioner of the Elderly Department under Mayor Kevin White. Most recently, Maria worked at Massachusetts General Hospital before stepping into her current role, where she continues her family’s legacy of civic engagement and neighborhood advocacy.
