she/her/hers

Mia has always been an huge fan of mathematics as a subject. Its tendencies for satisfying answers and concrete logic has always brought great satisfaction to her.

Mia graduated from Gonzaga University with a Bachelors in Science in applied mathematics and a concentration in computer science. During her studies, she had the privilege of writing an academic thesis titled The Biases in the Sciences: An Analysis of STEM Culture at Gonzaga University. In the paper, she used unsupervised machine learning algorithms to mine raw data from Gonzaga University to find association rules between student demographics and major choice and analyzed these correlations in the context of historical and societal expectations of gender to reflect on the lack of diversity in STEM

Since then, she has always wanted to find a way to be directly involved in making all STEM subjects, but especially mathematics, more accessible to all. It is for this reason that she is so ecstatic to join the SUMM team.
