Hello, I’m Maya! I am from Portland, Oregon and graduated with a degree in Applied Linguistics in 2023 from Portland State University.

I have been a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Ruse for nearly two years, working with an amazing community at MG “Baba Tonka.”

I’ve been so lucky to witness the amazing creativity of Bulgarian students during my time here, judging the preliminary rounds of the creative writing competition twice.

I am grateful to be a part of this effort and can’t wait to see what else is in store!
