Maria Camacho-Dively is a trilingual interpreter from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, who believes the magic of theater should be for everyone. A graduate of North Central University and an NIC-certified interpreter since 2011, she brings energy, artistry and connection to every performance, helping stories resonate with both Deaf and hearing audiences. Outside of interpreting, she delights in humming her favorite musical tunes and engaging in lively discussions with friends about their latest theater adventures. She loves attending performances and immersing herself in the vibrant local art scene while also embracing her Puerto Rican heritage through continuous learning and exploration. From a young age, she has been involved with music as a woodwind player, percussionist and steel drum player, among other roles.
