Maia is from Tuscaloosa, AL and graduated from Valparaiso University in 2018 where she received a Bachelor of Arts in International Economics and Asian Studies. Her interests are in U.S.-China-Taiwan relations, artificial intelligence, and space diplomacy. She is currently a part of the 2024 MSFS cohort with a concentration in Science, Technology, and International Affairs. During her time as an undergraduate student, Maia was a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar in Hangzhou, China, and interned with the U.S. Foreign Service Internship Program, working in Washington, D.C., and Tokyo, Japan. She was inducted as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa. Maia was also a Fulbright Fellow and Blakemore-Freeman Fellow to Taiwan, where she lived for two years. Prior to attending Georgetown, Maia worked in Chicago as a Program Coordinator for a non-profit focused on racial equity and bridge-building efforts. Currently, she is a 2022 Charles B. Rangel International Affairs Fellow and will join the U.S. Foreign Service as a Foreign Service Officer upon graduation.

"I chose MSFS because I wanted a solid foundation in international relations, history, and economics while living in the heart of U.S. foreign policy before I embark on my career as a U.S. diplomat."
