Maya has been acting, singing and dancing since she was 7 years old. From this early age, she determined her “calling” was to be a performer, and by doing so, change the world. Through her professional training and artistic experiences, Maya has seen firsthand the power of the performing arts. She wants to share her artistic passion with others, especially those who are extremely talented but don’t have the financial resources to pay for classes and training. In 2016, Maya created HeARTS of Maya, a non-profit foundation which provides educational scholarships to youth who want to pursue the arts. To learn more about Maya, go to
