 Introduction :) September 2nd, 2026 Hiiii, my name is Mia, and I'm a Musical Theatre and Journalism double major. With my majors, I hope to become a social culture journalist, specializing in the arts and music. I also have an interest in photography and recently started doing travel writing snippets with some of my favorites (pictured above).

I was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa, but moved to the States about three years ago (English is my third language lol)
