Originally from Los Angeles, Maya has lived the the Bay Area for the past 5 years. She enjoys hiking, training for the upcoming Big Sur Marathon, and spending time with friends at local beer gardens. Her favorite hikes completed so far include Trolltunga(Norway), Watersprite Lake(Canada), and Besseggen Ridge(Norway).

Maya is a recent Cal grad with a B.S. in Molecular Environmental Biology with a focus in Animal Health and Behavior. This unique curriculum gave her a foundation for understanding how organisms function in their environment from a molecular to ecological level. Taking courses under the Environmental Science, Policy and Management Department, she was also able to study the relationship between society and the environment.

Maya has 6 years of experience in the veterinary field and recently made the decision to switch career paths in order to help the community make positive changes in an ever-changing climate. She is excited to begin her career with Mapistry!
