Maya is a graduate of the Rotman School of Management (MBA), Stanford University’s Summer Institute for General Management, and Ryerson’s School of Journalism. Since beginning to freelance in 2007, Maya went on to become a trusted agency subcontractor regularly tapped to serve up client delight.
As a writer and journalist, Maya has nearly 20 years of clippings ranging from a 500 page novel to celebrity profiles. This doesn’t count time spent hand-stapling magazines she made as a kid.
As a marketer, Maya has +10 years of experience in B2B and B2C with industries including automotive, healthcare and pharma, financial services, luxury goods, manufacturing, tech, and equine. Her expertise is digital and content, but she thinks omnichannel and with an entrepreneurial flair.
