Biography
Maria Bartiromo was born on September 11, 1967 to Italian-American parents in the Dyker Heights area of Brooklyn, New York City. Her father owned a restaurant and her mother worked as a hostess and clerk at an off-track betting parlor. Bartiromo attended Fontbonne Hall Academy, an all-girls private Catholic school in Bay Ridge.
During high school, Bartiromo worked at her father’s restaurant and as a stock clerk at a wedding dress shop. She was fired from the latter for trying on newly arrived dresses before putting them away, but she learned a valuable lesson: do your job.
Bartiromo started college at C. W. Post before transferring to New York University. During her college years, she worked at the same betting parlor where her mother worked. She graduated from NYU’s Washington Square Campus in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and economics.
While at NYU, Bartiromo became involved with radio, interning on Barry Farber’s show on WMCA 570. She then interned at CNN.
