International Keynote Speaker | PhD Candidate @ Plymouth U. | Author | Podcast Host @ The Maya Talks Podcast | Professor

An International Keynote Speaker, published author, podcast host, and professor, I am on a mission to motivate and inspire. My background in positive psychology, sociology, and political science has endowed me with the knowledge and expertise to fulfill this mission. I am passionate about helping people realize their full potential while making an enduring mark on the world.

I use positive psychology tools to help individuals and organizations flourish. Positive psychology is the study of what makes individuals and communities thrive. This covers themes such as well-being, optimal human functioning, peak performance, flow states, and motivation.
