Malayna was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina with her four siblings. Two of her siblings have disabilities, which inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Special Needs Education at Grand Valley State University in 2013. Throughout her four years at Grand Valley, she was an active coach with the Special Olympics, was passionate about supporting her sorority’s philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network, and tutoring local elementary school students in literacy. Malayna embraced her passion for teaching through teaching abroad in Tanzania and South Korea for two and a half years, where she was able to embrace and learn about their culture and become fluent in Swahili and Korean. During that time, she also received a Masters in Public Administration and Public Policy from Columbia Southern University in 2018. Eventually, she went on to serve as an Academic Coordinator, where she created her own literacy program and write curriculum. She has also served as a special needs education teacher in the United States.
