Specialty Interest: Undecided!
Hello everyone! My name is Maya and I’m a third-year medical student at Duke originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. Before coming to Durham, I lived in Wisconsin, Maryland, and most recently Atlanta, Georgia. I went to undergrad at Spelman College where I majored in biology, and I’m especially passionate about women’s health and healthy equity research.
At Duke, I’m involved with several organizations that align with those interests, including SNMA, Davison Council, the General Surgery Interest Group, the Black Maternal Health Equity Initiative, and other student groups. I also love volunteering in the Durham community — it's one of the best parts of being here!
