McKayla Maynard is a freshman majoring in English and Marketing at the University of Connecticut! She is a writer for Her Campus UConn. She loves staying involved on campus, whether it be reading to preschoolers through UConn BookPals, spending time in nature with the Outing Club, or devoting all of her free time to playing pickup volleyball at the Rec.
Outside of academics, she loves reading philosophical fiction (aka Mitch Albom) and romance novels, writing poetry, and watching horror movies. A Connecticut local, McKayla's favorite past time is traveling across New England to try different coffee shops with her friends. Her absolute dream is to become an author and explore the world!
