About me: Hello! My name is Maya Falodia. I have lived in Snoqualmie Valley (WA) my whole life and am currently a junior majoring in computer science. I also plan to minor in neural computation and engineering and disability studies. I was a peer facilitator in Autumn 2024, and I'm involved in the Honors Peer Mentoring Program! I am passionate about proactive inclusivity, equity, and technology for good. Some of my interests include writing poetry, cooking, lego architectures, and hiking! I can also spend hours at a time reading a good book-my favorite book is "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng. My favorite class at UW so far has been the ENGL 282 Multimodal Composition honors class. Please reach out if you have any questions about Honors, classes, research, studying abroad, internships, clubs I am in, or for book recs :)
