Maya Alaniz

I am a dedicated student  with a major in Government and a minor in Business and Spanish, bringing a well-rounded perspective to problem-solving and decision-making. With strong customer service skills and a friendly approach, I excel in communication, relationship-building, and ensuring positive client experiences. My background allows me to navigate both business and policy environments effectively, and I am passionate about providing efficient and thoughtful solutions in any role I take on

I have experience in customer service and team-oriented roles, having worked at Jersey Mike's Subs in Pasadena, TX, from June 2023 to September 2023 as a Sandwich Artist. In this role, I provided excellent customer service, prepared high-quality sandwiches, and operated the cash register efficiently. Following that, I joined AMC Theaters in Houston, TX, from February 2024 to August 2024 as a Team Member. There, I gained valuable experience as an usher, cashier, and greeter, further developing my communication, teamwork, and customer interaction skills.

I am a dedicated student with a strong academic background, having graduated from Pasadena Memorial High School with a 4.8 GPA, ranking in the top 5% of my class. As Class President, an AP Scholar, and Homecoming Queen, I balanced leadership, academics, and extracurricular involvement. Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Government at The University of Texas at Austin, with plans to internally transfer to the McCombs School of Business for Marketing. Additionally, I am earning a Certificate in Business Spanish. I am actively involved in campus organizations such as the Hispanic Business Association, Austin BodyBuilders, and John 15 Freshman Ministry, further developing my leadership, networking, and personal growth.
