Maya is a senior at NYU studying Marketing & Comedy Writing, with a minor in Psych. She was born in Tel Aviv but raised in Miami and considers herself "from" both cities. Her strong passions lie at the intersection of pop & counter-culture - particularly seen in media that emerged from the '60s. In her free time, she loves watching documentaries, writing jokes, and showing people pictures of her French Bulldog. She has a playlist for every occasion and gets too excited about music history.
