Maya is proud to serve as the Navigator for the Southeast region.
She grew up in Anchorage, where she was a highly-decorated student-athlete in the sports of basketball and volleyball. Her family ties are rooted in Hydaburg on Prince of Wales Island where her dad grew up and where her grandparents and extended family still reside. On her mother’s side, she has connections with the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, specifically the community of Bethel.
Maya graduated from Ft. Lewis College with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and focus in Digital Marketing, where she played volleyball while maintaining a 3.9 GPA. Over the past few summers, she has held internships at Sealaska Corporation and Cook Inlet Tribal Council. That experience has helped expand her knowledge of the complexities of our tribal and corporate structure within the Alaska Native community throughout the state. She is a tribal member of Hydaburg Cooperative Association and shareholder of Sealaska.
Maya’s personal and professional background uniquely position her to support Alaska’s Southeast communities through the Navigator program.
