Welcome to Voice in the Arena—where leadership lessons meet real stories from the frontlines.

I'm Maia: Marine Corps and Army veteran, Naval Academy grad, West Point Asst. Professor, and featured storyteller with The Moth. I've led in combat zones, diplomatic missions, classrooms, and now in philanthropy advancing women's leadership.

This channel features my keynote speeches, storytelling performances, and conversations about leading with courage and authenticity. If you're ready to take chances, step into unfamiliar territory, and live more boldly—these stories are for you.
