Maya Thomas
Maya Thomas is Who What Wear's assistant beauty editor based just outside of Seattle, Washington. Her strong love for all things beauty and fashion stems from a strong childhood interest in the fine arts. During a gap year spent in Paris studying the history of French fashion, she shifted her focus to English literature and journalism as a student at Loyola Marymount University with the goal of one day pursuing a career in fashion. After graduating, Maya began freelancing for Parade.com as a contributing commerce writer. When she's not writing, Maya spends her free time rewatching Gossip Girl, perusing art galleries, and enjoying a night out at the ballet every now and then.
