IV. MEDICAL BACKGROUND
=======================

     Maya Zhunio's height and weight are barely below standards for female 
officers.  Due to the present dearth of counselors in Star Fleet, Medical 
has waved the physical requirements.  Her body tone and strength are up to 
standards.  Eye sight and reflexes are good.  No history of significant 
physical illness.

     Continued counseling is needed to combat acrophobia diagnosed in 
adolescence.  However, given the nature of her previous crisis counseling 
experience, Academy stress testing, and fitness interviews, Star Fleet 
Medical approves this officer for active duty.

V. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
======================

Personality:	     
-------------
     Friends of Maya describe a demure, forgiving, loyal, quiet, sensitive, 
and sentimental young woman.  Her unimposing persona has lulled even the most 
affected patients into yielding trustfulness.  Acquaintences know well that 
her gentle exterior conceals a star-fire passion for healing hearts.  She 
carries on this work with unblemished professionalism.

     Maya considers herself a teenager at heart in that she loves to learn
something new each day.  Her philosophy of life is to stay happy so that she 
can help others to be happy.  She owns a remarkable ability to make snap 
decisions in a crisis.  This trait has astonished friends since she is 
notorious for her indecisive nature.  

     Miss Zhunio remains apathetic toward male advances at this time.  
Despite an eight year drought of communication with her ex-fiancee, she 
knows her heart has always longed for him.  Shortly before completing her 
own Star Fleet training, she reestablished ties with a most receptive 
Hastings.  She remains optimistic that they will make the most of their 
second chance together.

Biography: 
-----------
     Maya Zhunio hails from the charming spanish-colonial settlement of 
Cuenca.  Embraced by the evergreen Andes Mountains, Maya called this city home 
for 27 years.  She once remarked, "The only thing cold about Cuenca is its 
weather."  In that cold city she flourished: warmed by the bosom of familial 
comfort and intimate Latin society.  

     Despite this ideal setting, Zhunio suffered a tortuous loss of innocence 
there.  At age 23, she became the obssession of a most abusive man.  To this 
day, her two year ordeal with him remains so raw that she refuses to speak his 
name.  She reveals only that she knew hate for the first time because of him.  

     Maya's natural resilience kept her from failing academically.  Emotionally, 
however, she bore formidible wounds.  While she kept close friends and attended 
school, she shied from society.  

     Her long winter finally ended at age 25.  While she was completing her 
master's in counseling, the sensitive manner of a visiting missionary, one 
Marcus Hastings, captured her heart.  A sweet and innocent romance ignited 
between them almost immediately.  Marcus felt so passionately about Maya that 
he proposed marriage mere months later.  Although Maya accepted 
enthusiastically, Marcus quickly realized his emotional inability to handle both 
medical school and a serious relationship.  The young man broke off the 
engagement a short time later.

     Not one day has passed that Maya does not think of her beloved prince.  His
loving support helped heal her.  So, despite her newly broken heart, she felt 
inspired to be a strength for others as Marcus had been for her.  She threw 
herself into her work and completed her PhD in family crisis counseling at age 
27.  Shortly thereafter, she joined a UFP disaster counseling task force.  She 
has since provided crisis therapy on over half a dozen worlds.  

     Maya came to Star Fleet's attention after her heroic actions during a 
pirate attack on Garoth IV.  At first, she accepted requests to present a week of 
after-action lectures to the Academy.  By the end of the week, the deputy head 
of Star Fleet Counseling had offered her a seat in the next year's professional
recruits class.

     Zhunio recollects how she would have turned down the offer had she not 
noticed a certain young doctor walking on campus earlier that day.  It did not
take her long to confirm that one unattached Marcus Hastings was finishing his 
own training that month.  Maya then schemed to join Star Fleet and seek a 
posting near her long lost fiancee.  

UPDATE 150103

     Maya's journey to marital happiness came to completion in a wedding to 
Marcus Jeffrey Hastings on Earth in her hometown of Cuenca, Ecuador.  The 
couple looks forward to working together as part of a Starfleet task force for
frontier disaster recovery.
