In 2012, Maxie continued her family’s legacy by following in the public relations footsteps of her father and late grandfather, Lee Solters , a legend in the business.

Born on March 22, 1987, and raised in Sherman Oaks, Solters graduated from Oakwood School and then USC with a bachelor’s degree in theater.
