To hone her performative skills, she has completed several courses at Second City in Toronto. In addition, she is involved in private classes with Michelle Cavaleri for singing and piano, as well as dancing with JCB Danceworks.

In her spare time she is an avid crime/thriller writer and comic-book creator/artist. Amaya is a fierce competitor and athlete. At the age of 3 she started gymnastics and martial arts. She has achieved success in volleyball as a York Region District School Board (YRDSB)Regional Finalist. Most recently, she won gold at the Ontario Cup U12 basketball championships and finished in the finals twice at YRDSB basketball tournaments.
