Staff Directory for River Crossing YMCA

Maria Sullivan serves as the WOW Center Director of Operations at the River Crossing YMCA, bringing dedication, warmth, and nearly two decades of service to the community.

Maria began her YMCA journey in 2008 in the Childcare Program as a part‑time teacher’s aide, occasionally supporting the babysitting program when needed. During these early years, she built strong, lasting connections with children and families—relationships that shaped her passion for service. In 2010, she transitioned into a full‑time Membership role, where her compassion for members, families, and the broader community continued to grow. She has always valued the meaningful conversations shared with members over the years.

When the Call Center launched in 2020, Maria joined the team as one of the first points of contact for members, guests, and prospective members. Whether answering phone calls or responding through webchat, she enjoyed helping people discover the wide variety of programs the YMCA offers for all ages.

In 2025, the Call Center was rebranded as the WOW Center, marking a new chapter of enhanced service and support. Maria embraced this evolution wholeheartedly. She finds it deeply rewarding to lead a team that efficiently delivers on member needs and requests, and she takes great pride in supporting all branches across the association.

Maria earned her Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management in the Philippines, a foundation that strengthened her commitment to hospitality and service. She is a proud mother of two young adult sons and a young daughter.

Maria is honored to be part of the River Crossing YMCA family—an organization that touches lives and makes a meaningful difference every day.
