Upon graduation from UF, Maxwell worked as a sports radio producer for various media channels for two years then as a sports videographer for WCJB TV20 before becoming the first ever social media manager for USSSA. The United States Specialty Sports Association, or USSSA is a sports governing body that specializes in baseball, slow-pitch softball, fast pitch softball, and soccer.

Maxwell then took an opportunity with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, working as a social media manager for two and a half years overseeing 30 social media accounts across all platforms including affiliate accounts. She then took a position as a Social and Digital Content Creator for Meta Platforms for the NBA, analyzing and reporting key metrics on their platforms for increased awareness and engagement.

Currently, she is back with USSSA as a digital content manager, prioritizing brand awareness and consistency within brand identity. She also helps maintain brand image and expanding brand awareness for USSSA.
