Maya McClain, Photo Manager

My name is Maya McClain, I’m one of the Photography Managers. I enjoy spending my free time taking pictures in and out of school. You can usually find me on the field or court taking pictures at school football, volleyball, basketball, and soccer games. Outside of school I enjoy drawing and painting along with taking and editing pictures of friends and nature. My goal for next year is to go to Mizzou and study photojournalism.
