Hello! I am Maya Tomarchio, a fifth-year computer science student at the University of Cincinnati. At UC, I am an enthusiastic active member of the University Honors program where I have been and will continue to be able to create amazing opportunities for myself to learn new things and widen the range of my education. ​

​

One of my biggest passions outside of UC and my studies are the aerial and circus arts, which have provided me with a community for my mental and physical health to flourish. I love to educate and break the stigma around these types of fitness and am a certified pole instructor which has been a great opportunity for me to learn about safety in different physical activity and how to properly rest, recover, and care for different parts of the body. This spring semester 2025, I have created a new student organization at UC registered as Pole it Together. I have created this organization with the goal of providing free pole and other aerial arts class to students as a way to make these classes accessible, so students can experience all the benefits these unique sports have to offer. 

​

I heavily enjoy as well as value learning new skills and seeking out unique experiences. I have found that you can learn the most about yourself in unfamiliar circumstances, which I love to implement in my life by looking for new hobbies and experiences. 

​

This summer 2026 you can find me in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala during the Month of May and working remotely (from the USA) for the rest of the summer semester. I am finally attending Spanish School in Lake Atitlan, after many years of Spanish self study. I am excited for the opportunity for a level assesment and some grammar work. Additionally, I will be switching teams within Siemens to work in "simulations" I am ready and thrive in a new environment after working on the software development team this past year.
