Maya’s career began by exploring the role of art and museums in advancing social justice. Her journey has taken her from thinking about whose voices are represented in museums and higher education to how philanthropy can shift power and center community decision-making.

Maya believes in the power of curiosity and asking really good questions. She loves building, experimenting, and problem-solving in service of a world where we can all thrive.

Outside of work, Maya’s favorite activity is learning about the world alongside her two children through experiments, crafting, and long walks in the woods.
