Maya is all about making things make sense—whether it’s analyzing a movie, researching random topics, or mastering a new recipe. She brings this approach to her writing, always striving for clarity and relatability. Originally from small-town Idaho, Maya enjoys exploring her own family roots and learning about her family. When she’s not watching Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 one, of course!) or drinking Diet Dr. Pepper, she’s painting, practicing Spanish, and spending time with friends.
