ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Meet Maria Savage

Maria Savage is an education professional with over a decade of experience, committed to empowering students and families through inclusive, student-centered learning. With a background as a special educator, higher education administration, and postsecondary transition specialist, Maria has spent her career advocating for students—especially neurodiverse learners who often fall through the cracks of traditional systems. After witnessing countless students navigate programs that weren’t designed with their unique needs in mind, she knew a different approach was necessary. Driven by the belief that every individual holds the innate power to learn, grow, and transform their lives, Maria founded Love Joy Learning Hub—a fully online microschool designed to nurture autonomy, creativity, and confidence. Her vision is to create a safe, empowering learning space where students are encouraged to explore, connect, and become the highest version of themselves.
