As an actor, Maya continually strives to use her voice to tell the stories that need to be told; stories that celebrate diversity and inclusion in the magical, theatrical realm where anything is possible. Her friends call her a “professional napper”, but she also enjoys hiking in the Pacific Northwest, listening to true crime podcasts, and staying up to date on as many TV shows as humanly possible.
