Maria Gavilano is a 53-year-old Peruvian immigrant who moved to New York City in 1993. She lives in Queens and has been a full-time TLC driver in NYC for nearly four years. 

Gavilano's shifts usually last from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., and she takes a few minutes between each ride to disinfect her car for every passenger.
