Maria Fernandez Cabral

When I was preparing for my move abroad to Germany, I was overcome with feelings of excitement and uneasiness.
Maria Fernandez Cabral, founder of The Eltern Hub

Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in the United States, Maria is familiar with migration challenges firsthand — including language adaptation and cultural transitions.

"Moving abroad to Germany was already a challenge - having to navigate raising children abroad can be even more difficult."

After experiencing the complexities of parenting abroad as an expat, Maria established The Eltern Hub to support international families relocating to Germany. Her background in women and gender studies, combined with professional expertise in recruitment, sales, and marketing, shapes every service the organization offers.

The Eltern Hub bridges the gap between families and the resources they need for a smooth relocation and adaptation to life in Germany.
