Since her mother is an American citizen she is one too.

While by the time Maya was born, S. Ann was able to convey citizenship to a child born abroad with an alien father, that is not true in general. For example, IF Barry was born abroad, his mother did not meet the "residency in the US" requirements to convey citizenship.
