Maya Galson

Principal Scientist at Mattson

Maya Galson is a Bay Area native, loves all things active and outside, especially if the activity involves special treats at the end. Cooking for her family and friends brings her great joy, as does the home food science project like kombucha, discovering the secrets to the best potato latke, plant-based yogurt, or “how many veggies can he hide” in this mac and cheese.

Long term goal is to improve her green thumb and grow more food for home cooking/preserving. Nothing beats picking sun-warmed fruits and veggies from your backyard. Her biggest gardening success is a passion fruit vine that provides 100s of fruits each year, all whilst shading their home in the hot summers. Sharing this abundance with her family, friends, and neighbors is such a delight each year and epitomizes one of the many ways that food brings their community together.
