Meet Maya Chen, a 19-year-old first-year Mathematics student at the University of Waterloo. Raised in a family of engineers, she always found herself more fascinated by the patterns and puzzles of numbers than by circuits and codes. Maya is a curious problem solver who spends her weekends volunteering at local math tutoring centers and participates in math competitions. Her passion for mathematics is matched only by her love for exploring the outdoors, where she often seeks inspiration for her problem sets amidst nature's quiet beauty.
