Maya graduated from Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, TX and TCU’s Neeley School of Business with a BBA in Finance. Outside of work, Maya enjoys international and adventure travel, visiting her East coast family and friends and swimming in every ocean she can.
Why I Chose Lyle: I believe in the power of engineering, Lyle’s unique strength and Nader’s leadership. I grew up in a family of engineers. Engineers are creators and innovators. They bring into existence concepts which change the world, be they high-tech products and services driving economies or altruistic endeavors targeting societal good. The value created by solving society’s problems using technology has been the foundation of growth in our nation for decades.
Lyle’s Unique Strength: Fortune 100 companies we have met have commented: “Whatever you are doing in leadership and soft skills development, keep doing it. We can put your students in front of our customers faster than those from any other school in the country. Lyle’s graduates are natural leaders”
