Meet Maya, a 20-year-old psychology student at the University of Waterloo who is passionate about creating supportive communities. Originally from a small town, she moved to Waterloo hoping to meet diverse friends who share her love for art and nature. Maya often finds it challenging to connect with like-minded female friends in the bustling campus environment and is exploring innovative ways to build her social circle, particularly through apps that cater to friendship rather than dating. With a background in organizing local art workshops, she dreams of fostering a welcoming space for women to connect over shared interests.
