Originally from Peru, she relocated to the United States in 1996 and has taught Spanish language courses continuously since 2002 across multiple institutions including Arcadia University, La Salle University, and the Community College of Philadelphia.
Her academic background includes:

- PhD in Spanish Art and Medieval Literature from Temple University (completed 2014 after achieving ABD status in 2008)
Professor Maravi's research centers on language acquisition pedagogy, with dual expertise in Medical Spanish applications and Medieval Hispanic literary traditions.
