She is a full-time college student

Despite being an NYC native, Maude decided to attend Columbia University to get her B.A. in philosphy. Columbia serves as the background for most of her songs, and, according to an interview she gave to the Columbia Spectator, her song "Lovesick" was largely inspired by a discussion she had in a college philosophy class.

She understands the importance of giving back

Maude volunteers with a student-led tutoring service based in New York City where she has had the opportunity to help students in need of educational support. She has made public pleas for her social media followers to help tutor in NYC public schools.  "I went to public school in NYC growing up and this is very close to my heart.
