Maya Ward, Engagement Coordinator
Maya Ward joined the Pepperbox in her final year of high school and enjoys writing about things that interest her. Ward has always liked to write, whether it’s for school or in her journal. In her free time, she watches TV with her bearded dragon and bakes sweet treats with her friends. Ward is an engagement coordinator who makes the paper fun and interactive for all. Maya loves the outdoors and getting her hands dirty. Breathing in the fresh air and taking in the sunbeams is all she needs.
