​Maya Navarro (she/her) is a second-year medical student at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Hailing from the western suburbs of Chicago, Maya graduated from New York University with a BS in Biology and Global Public Health in 2023.

Outside of medicine, Maya enjoys the simple pleasures of life: seeing new indie bands steadfastly at the barricade, logging every place she eats on Beli (ranked in the top 1000 in the world!), and enjoying life in the Chicago suburbs with her two cats.
