Keep reading to get a closer look into her life!
HC: What made you choose nursing as your major?
Maya: As a nurse, you have to be very caring and love what you do. Yet, not everyone who enters this profession is capable of doing this job. I felt, knowing the kind of person that I am, that I would be able to fulfill that role and provide a sense of comfort and trust between me and my patients.
HC: If you could be any animal or insect, what would it be and why?
Maya: I would be a butterfly because they’re so peaceful, beautiful and unique in their own special way.
HC: Who do you think has shaped you into the person that you are today and why?
Maya: I would have to say my mom. Anytime that I felt like giving up or like I couldn’t do it anymore, she’s always there to keep me going and push me forward.
HC: What is something that you’re very passionate about?
Maya: I would definitely have to say my family.
HC: What is a motto that you live by and why?
Maya: YOLO because when I make decisions that I’m not sure about, I just say YOLO and that helps me to not dwell on it. Life goes on so there’s no time to really trip over the past.
