Maria Vanta

Class of 2015

Maria Vanta completed an MA in Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto. Her interest in organized crime and corruption translated into a dissertation commenting on the culture of corruption by comparing several instances of it and their treatment in developed and developing countries. A keen interest in travel has allowed her to further her understanding of organized crime through her work with a number of non-profit organizations geared towards the elimination of human trafficking in Romania.
