As the founder and president of Campus Calm, Maria gives voice to the secret practices, concerns and conversations of a generation of young men and women who believe that it is acceptable, even necessary, to sacrifice health and happiness in pursuit of perfection. A former college perfectionist and “stressaholic,” Maria is a trailblazing young entrepreneur on a mission: to spread a dose of “campus calm” to stressed-out students worldwide. Campus Calm has subscribers from around the world.

"I used to spend hours trying to find the perfect words to prove to the world that I was talented,” says Pascucci. “Today, I look for the honest words – the words that will reach others and let them know they’re not alone when they dream crazy dreams.”

A Buffalo resident, she attended Canisius College and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in English and History with a concentration in Writing and Women's Studies..
