Hey all!

My name is Mayalin or just Maya for short. I am a first year Middle Childhood education major specializing in mathematics and English language arts. Alongside being in ACES, I am. Morrill and YSP scholar here at OSU, so I am very found of meeting new people! I am from Cleveland, OH about two and a half hours from Columbus. In high school I was Valedictorian of the Cleveland School of the Arts and president of the recycling club and choir. I am a first generation student and come from a single parent household with my mother. My hobbies include singing, dancing, writing, reading, shopping, watching movies, doing community service, and hanging out with my favorite Smeeb connectors on floor 5! I am apart of the LGBTQ+ community, I identify as a lesbian and I am a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. I can’t wait to start my journey here at OSU and see where I land in the next four years with my friends and family!
