Maya Sullivan is a queer Japanese American outdoorist who is passionate about expanding access to outdoor activities. Based in Seattle, WA where she grew up with the backdrop of the sea and the mountains, Maya enjoys backpacking, skiing, mountaineering, cooking gourmet backcountry meals in a cast-iron skillet (because why not), and is a budding climber and diver. Her favorite way to get outside is through multi-sport adventures!

Maya is the NGO The Cairn Project's Ambassador Coordinator where she helps empower fellow outdoor recreators to turn ordinary adventures into a means to empower girls and gender-expansive youth through outdoor activities. Maya also works for the NGO Spirit of America as the Middle East and Central Asia Assistant Project Manager.
