Maya Jackson
Washington, D.C. Director
About Me

Two mortal summers ago, she was called back into the fold by Demeter, to serve as director of Camp Half- Blood DC and reconnect with her roots as a demi-god of the natural realm.
As for her exploits in the mortal world, Maya is a great lover of photography and the performing arts. She earned her MFA in Acting from the University of Missouri, Kansas City and has worked as an actor and teaching artist in regional theatres around the country.

When he's not running a camp for young demigods, he's helping with his family's llama ranch in the South Bay.
Rob Miller
Los Angeles, CA - Eastside Director
About Me
Rob is the son the Norse blacksmith Eitri. He was raised among the flat, sprawling cornfields of central Ohio, and ventured West in search of mountains.
