Maryann Roefaro’s experience has shown that every relationship we have begins with the one we have with our self. Committed and dedicated to her Self-Mastery journey, she is inviting and encouraging others to do the same. “We have incredible power within the recesses of the self. Although many aspects of such may remain a mystery to the human mind, we have the innate ability to discover the Divine gifts and power within, if we sincerely commit to the never-ending journey of self-discovery and mastery." Maryann passionately blends these concepts with her leadership philosophies in Building the Team From the Inside-Out, a multi-dimensional view of leadership.

Maryann began her career in 1981 after graduating from Albany College of Pharmacy as a Medical Technologist, passionately pursuing a career in Clinical Microbiology and Immunology. Subsequent to positions as a Microbiology Section Head and Laboratory Manager, her career transitioned into leadership positions as a Healthcare Administrator in primary care.

Maryann cites her position at Hematology-Oncology Associates, the largest provider of cancer care services in Central New York, as having the most significant impact on her self-mastery journey. It was in this position that Maryann was motivated to continue her studies through the American Institute of Holistic Theology, receiving a Doctor of Divinity Degree in March of 2009. She also became an ordained minister through Metaphysical Universal Ministries in June of 2009. Maryann is a board certified fellow in the American College of Medical Practice Executives.
