Falmouth Academy sophomore Maya Peterson shows a poster advertising her book, “Early Bird: The Power of Investing Young.”
Maya R. Peterson was 8 years old when she decided to dedicate herself to the science and art of investing.
At age 10, she attended The Motley Fool’s “College Women and Investing” conference. At 14, she was the first female investor invited to speak to the Google Investment group.
The now-16-year-old Falmouth Academy sophomore, who recently moved with her family to Falmouth from St. Paul, Minnesota, is a self-published author and a sought-after speaker nationwide.
The daughter of Ginnie and Gunnar Peterson of West Falmouth, Maya attends Falmouth Academy along with her brother, Soren, a freshman who is also an avid investor.
Last month, Maya traveled twice to California to speak about investing to audiences young and old at numerous venues before returning to her schoolwork.
Ensemble Capital invited her to San Bruno, California, to speak about her book, “Early Bird: The Power of Investing Young,” which she wrote and published last year. Maya spoke about how she became interested in economics and investing, her writing process and the advantages of starting to save and invest early.
