About Me!
Hi! My name is Maya Sjoblom, pronounced sha-bloom (a Swedish name meaning sea flower). I’m originally from the Bay Area, now living in Los Angeles! I’m a bubbly extrovert and pride myself on making friends with new people. I’ve been acting since I was eight years old, participating in school plays/musicals every year. I graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a BA in Theatre Arts and an English Minor. Through my college’s Improv troupe, Smile and Nod, I’ve had the honor of performing at the Edinburgh Free Fringe Festival! I’ve also been working hard on student short films. My most recent accomplishments are being a featured actor in the San Luis Obispo Film Festival and official selection of the LA International Film Festival 2024.
