Mariana Maritato graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University in 2002, and earned her master's degree in 2004, also from Arizona State University, to become a speech-language pathologist. She is also a certified health coach, certified aromatherapist, and certified English teacher, among other things. She is currently an activist for human rights issues involving the use of directed energy weapons to torture innocent civilians. She gave formal testimony to the International Tribunal for Natural Justice presenting significant evidence in her case.

She has worked on activism with prominent leaders and activists around the world (including writing and editing international newsletters for Magnus Olson, the director of a nonprofit human rights organization, while living in Poland, and also working with the Polish activists from the non-profit STOPZET, as well as working with David Voigts, the former U.S. Navy Sargent, to help organize his media campaign as he walked across the U.S. to raise awareness of these crimes). Her activism efforts are to help end one of the most egregious crimes against humanity in history, that of using directed energy weapons to torture innocent civilians, and she works to help restore humanity to true freedom.

Mariana was put into a government torture program with the use of directed energy weapons since she was a young child, possibly since birth, and it remained covert until 2015 when it became very seriously extreme and overt which is when she discovered she was being tortured via electronic weapons. She has been enduring very extreme torture (by all international definitions of torture) since then and is fighting to survive and expose these crimes along with millions of others around the world. Her website on cybertorture and targeted individuals is TargetedIndividualActivism.com.
