volunteer leadership

what do others say?

Accountability

Lydia Novak – “Maia is one of the hardest-working people I know. Her time-management skills are incredible and she always takes the initiative in projects. If you ask her to do something, it will be done well and on time! She works fast and efficiently but also knows how to set healthy leadership boundaries. She has had experience in leading other leaders, which will be a necessary part of being StuCo President.”

Thomas (Blake) Crosby – “I think Maia would be an excellent president due to her work ethic, social personality, and experience at NorthStar Academy. Maia is always on top of her course work, student council work, and extracurricular work in a balance manner.”

Adelyn Pendley – “As president, I know Maia can continually help in transforming the NSA community into an open, fun, and iNSAne place for all students.“

Hannah Robbins – “She would make sure to try her best and I’ve found that her best is above and beyond what is needed. She is very trustworthy, helpful, loyal, friendly, kind, cheerful, and caring.”

Organization

Understanding

Tiana Dean – ”She is welcoming to everyone and is the kind of person you would want to lead your student body.”

Thomas (Blake) Crosby – “I in particular know that I could always ask Maia for any questions about NorthStar when needed. If she couldn’t answer the question for me, she knew who I could talk to.”

Experience

Gabriel (Gabe) Nelson – “She has numerous StuCo positions already under her experience belt and has also been praised in said positions for doing a good job. She is a long time NSAer, and because she’s been through a thing or two in this school, she knows a thing or two that someone might not.”

Maxence (Max) Herbreteau – “Maia has demonstrated great leadership as she is on top of her work and gets it done.”
