Maija is the Vice President of MNPoly’s Board of Directors and a lifelong event organizer. Their passion for bringing people together began at age 12 and has since evolved into a diverse portfolio, including private parties, fundraisers, non-mono/kink/BDSM events, and national conferences.

With over 20 years of experience in ophthalmology, Maija transitioned out of the field due to chronic illness and disability. They are AuDHD and proudly identify as a non-binary femme, queer, demisexual, noetisexual, and polyam-leaning non-mono.

In their free time, Maija enjoys spending time with their dogs, family, and friends; indulging in books, movies, and TV shows; botanical brick building; and diving deep into special interests and projects with hyperfocused enthusiasm.
