She may be only starting out as a model, but we think Maya Rae is going places. A natural blonde from Vancouver, Canada, Maya is a nutrition student with a serious passion for modeling. “I grew up on the West Coast, in a small town where everybody knows everybody,” says Maya. “I spent a year living in Sweden, and when I moved back to Canada, I fell hard for fitness! I’m really focused on my studies, and it’s only in the last year or so that I started modeling.” When we emailed Maya to see if she’d like to shoot for Playboy Plus, she could hardly believe her luck—after all, we see a lot of beautiful girls come through casting, but Maya’s something special and definitely stands out. “I grew up in a pretty religious home, so posing nude is really exciting for me,” says Maya. “I feel like I’m still a church girl at heart, but now I get to show off my bold side!” Amen to that.
