Mataya brings a love for learning, creativity, and connection to every shift at LIFT. When she is not at the front desk, you will likely find her with a book in hand, studying, or exploring new languages like Spanish and Italian, with German next on her list. She has a natural curiosity and passion for growth that shows up in everything she does, along with a creative side that loves art in all forms.

One of the most unique experiences that shaped Mataya was being an exchange student. She welcomed a student into her home for six months, then moved to Italy to live with her host family without knowing the language. By the end of her time there, she had fully learned Italian, an experience that speaks to her adaptability, courage, and love for new experiences.

At LIFT, Mataya thrives in the positive, high energy environment and truly values the relationships she builds with both clients and her team. She loves that every shift brings something new to learn and that no two days feel the same. Her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm make her a natural fit at the front desk, helping create the welcoming and uplifting experience LIFT is known for.
