Hi! I’m Maya! I’m an Academic Coach with Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I earned my bachelor’s degree in History from Sam Houston State University in 2019 and began my career teaching Social Studies at both the middle and high school levels. I later returned to school to earn a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar University, along with a post-graduate certificate in School Administration, graduating in 2024. I am currently pursuing an MBA at the University of Houston-Downtown.
I’ve been teaching for seven years in the Houston area, specializing in Social Studies for grades 4-12. I chose to coach with SAOTG because it allows me to support students in a deeper way, by helping them build executive functioning skills that foster ownership, confidence, and long-term success. What I love most about coaching is watching students grow over time as they develop consistency, self-awareness, and confidence in who they are becoming.
