Biography

Maayan was born in Costa Rica to a Belgian mother and a Nicaraguan father. She lived in Brazil, Ecuador, and Italy as her mother fought poverty with the United Nations.

Her path finagled itself into UPenn, where she fell unceremoniously into PreMed. She discovered her true calling as an actress when she moved to New York City.

As an Actor, she trained at the William Esper Studio for two years.

As Global Citizen, she helps run her family's nonprofit, Palms for Life, dedicated to giving access to food, water, education, and sanitation to communities around the world as well as increasing awareness on social issues.

She is the founder and host of Glimpse of Brilliance, a podcast that provides listeners with insight on various topics and common human struggles.

She loves film, theater, yoga, meditation...but really just sitting down to watch a series on Netflix or reading a good book (Baby Island anyone?) with perfect obsessive focus for weeks on end, to the point of ending her relations to humans, is also on the list. She believes in honesty and giving life her all.
