Hello! I'm Maia, and you are .... Nice to meet you.

I'm a fourth-year computer science and computer engineering undergraduate student at the University of Southern California. After graduation, I'll be joining Lockheed Martin's Space division as a software engineer. In my free time, I like to be with my friends and family, go to cafes, restaurants, museums and performances. I also enjoy baking, reading, hiking, rocketry, photography and piano. Stay tuned for updates on this page!
