Maya Patel is an energetic and insightful entertainment and technology journalist who’s never satisfied with just skimming the surface. She got her start reviewing indie films for a small local blog, waking up early to watch screener copies before dashing off to her day job. Today, she’s managed to turn that hustle into a full-time career, covering everything from the latest streaming wars and VR headsets to behind-the-scenes stories about the actors and creators shaping pop culture. She’s known among her editors for spotting hype before it breaks wide and calling out empty buzz when it doesn’t measure up. When she’s not juggling press junkets, Maya’s probably catching a late-night double feature at a historic cinema or testing out a new video game release, making sure she’s as plugged into the cultural conversation as the readers who rely on her honest takes.
