Maxine holds an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University at Buffalo, with a concentration in biomedical imaging and analysis, and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the same institution, graduating summa cum laude. For her Master’s project, conducted in collaboration with the University at Buffalo (UB) Canon Stroke & Vascular Research Center, she designed a patient-specific, moving coronary artery phantom to imitate the flow and physiological motion of the coronary arteries during a cardiac cycle.

During her studies, Maxine competed as a student-athlete in cross-country and track and field at UB, participating in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and NCAA Northeast Regional Championships. She also served two terms as Chapter President of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society chapter at UB (NY Nu), where she led initiatives to increase membership and enhance chapter visibility. In 2023, she was awarded the Tau Beta Pi Laureate Award for exemplifying the "spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges" through her athletic achievements.

In her free time, Maxine enjoys running, playing hockey, reading, drawing, and spending quality time with her loved ones.
