Jennifer Maria and Xavier Savage
Keeping up with a college course load and a full-time job is only the half of it for Jennifer Maria, 24, and Xavier Savage, 20. The Dorchester natives are both enrolled at UMass Boston—and they both report to City Hall’s head honcho. Previously a liaison for the Latino community, Maria now travels by Mayor Walsh’s side as a special assistant. “A typical day for me would be attending all kinds of events with the mayor and responding to any requests or concerns from constituents,” says the sociology major. And as the advance person for the mayor, Savage is charged with putting together his brief book, the no-walk-in-the-park task of finding parking for foreign diplomats and the all-important job of keeping Walsh on time. As Savage—who also volunteers as a youth leader at his church and works with the All Dorchester Sports League—explains, “My job in its most basic form is to make sure the mayor has everything and knows everything he needs to know to have a smooth day.”
