Learn more about NEPA SHRM's new member, Maya Tigue...

What are your favorite hobbies?

I recently got a puppy in December, and she's become my main hobby!  Spending time with her through walks, playtime, and training has taken up most of my free time, and I'm absolutely loving it.

Why did you choose a career in Human Resources? 

I previously worked in various roles within the medical field, but a few year ago, I decided to make a change.  I transitioned into HR and quickly realized that the HR aspect of my past roles was what I enjoyed most.  My current position brings me a lot of satisfaction, as I'm able to help people every day.

What is your current job / career?

I'm an Administrative Assistant in the Scranton School District.

What is your greatest personal accomplishment?

Bring a mother is my greatest accomplishment.  Guiding my son and shaping his decisions is my most important role.  I strive to be my best every day for my son and husband, inspired by the family we've created.

Why did you choose to join NEPA SHRM?

As I advance my HR career, SHRM is the ideal starting point, offering valuable peer connections, resources, and guidance unavailable elsewhere.
