b'In our last episode of the year, I talk with Maria Boland Ploessl. Maria\\u2019s path to technology has been interesting to say the least. A Saint Paul native, she studied Spanish and Latin American studies in college. In 2016, after living in a few different cities (even a year-long stint in Brazil), she moved back to Minnesota. Now, she\\u2019s the Executive Director of Minnestar, a non-profit organization with the aim of supporting and growing Minnesota\\u2019s tech community. Maria talks to me about what Minnestar does, the work they\\u2019re doing to bring more people of underrepresented groups into tech, married life and how she\\u2019s grown from it, and parenthood.'
