Maya's Bio and Press
Bios are like highlight reels.
They list the accomplishments,
but don't tell you the story behind them.
Rather read a rousing story
(with photos & fails) than a bio?

Maya Frost is an educator, author, mindfulness trainer, and creative change strategist. Since 2000, she has helped thousands of people face, manage, and design change.

Her book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education, was published by Crown (Random House) in 2009. It serves as the go-to handbook for students and families looking for personalized, affordable, and thrilling learning opportunities.
