About

A Note From Me

Hi, I'm Maya, The Gratitude Architect. I'm so glad you're here.

For fourteen years I have practiced gratitude daily and what I have seen is that this is not about thinking differently for a moment but about changing how your life actually unfolds.

I have built a life where I continue to grow my acting career, create opportunities, nurture a strong marriage, deepen my friendships, become the best mother that I can be and expand in every area and none of that came from waiting for the right moment.

It came from how I chose to be, feel, think, decide and move before anything was guaranteed.

This work is about becoming the person whose life reflects the life they know they are meant to live.

More about me

Hi again! I’m Maya.

You’ve already learned a little about me, but here’s a deeper look into my story.

I was born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, to a Sri Lankan mother and a Czech father. I also have an older sister who is a doctor specializing in palliative care.

Since I was little, I dreamed of becoming an actress in Hollywood. To many, especially me, it seemed impossible. I was living halfway across the world, navigating severe OCD with no clear path into the industry. But I never stopped dreaming.

Growing up, I played golf on the Swiss Junior National Team, which eventually led to a golf and acting scholarship at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. There, I studied at the prestigious Hartt School Conservatory and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Actor Training. Even then, I felt I was moving toward something much bigger than I could fully see.

After college, I moved to Hollywood, where I faced the harsh reality of how difficult the entertainment industry could be, along with the challenge of securing a work visa year after year while building a life from scratch.

The more obstacles I encountered, the more determined I became. Even without knowing exactly how, I believed I could create a life I would one day be proud of.

Then everything changed.

I discovered The Magic by Rhonda Byrne and it became the catalyst for my gratitude journey. On June 14, 2012, I began practicing gratitude every single day and that one decision transformed my life.

One of the most extraordinary by-products was watching my inner shifts begin to shape my outer reality.

I went on to land recurring roles on Castle as Tory Ellis, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Agent 33 and the lead antagonist in the first-ever NCIS crossover trilogy. I’ve also guest-starred on Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, Magnum P.I. and many films. Most recently, I starred in the feature film BIGHT, now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon.

Beyond acting, I’ve had the privilege of working with nonprofit organizations including The Midnight Mission, Humanitarian For Empowerment, Boo2Bullying and The Butterfly Family Fund.

What began as a personal gratitude practice grew into something much larger. I started leading gratitude workshops for charitable organizations, speaking at seminars and sharing these practices with communities around the world. Again and again, I witnessed gratitude create real, tangible transformation, not only in my own life but in the lives of others.

In 2025, I created my first digital course, Becoming Gratitude, a 30-day journey guiding people through daily gratitude practices across health, success, adversity, relationships and our connection to life itself. Watching people create meaningful shifts through that work deepened my conviction that this is what I am here to share.

Now, after fourteen years of daily gratitude, and in many ways because of what living with OCD has taught me, I feel called to share these practices on an even greater scale.

Today, I live in Long Beach, California with my husband, Todd Clever, our three-and-a-half-year-old son Leo, our one-year-old son Cash and our dog Winston.

What I know now is this:

Gratitude is not about pretending life is perfect. It is about changing the way you relate to life so profoundly that life begins reflecting that change back to you.

It has shaped my career, my marriage, my motherhood, my resilience and the way I create.

That is why I do this work.

And my deepest wish is that these practices help you remember your own power to create a life that feels aligned, expansive and truly your own.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
