nm photographer and videographer

Mia is a 22-year-old Las Cruces, New Mexico native and a recent New Mexico State University graduate. Holding a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications specializing in Strategic Communications,  she also pursued minors in Marketing, Sports Marketing, Advertising, Strategic Communications, and Social Media Management.

Her dedication led her to three NBC Sports internships, where she contributed to the NBCSports.com News Desk and worked with the NBC Sports Olympics Research team. Her involvement in these internships provided her with exposure to high-profile sports coverage and enhanced her understanding of sports journalism.

Prior to NBC Sports, she made history as the first female Sportswriter in the 113-year history of The Round Up at NMSU. This significant milestone allowed her to cover NM State athletics and delve into the dynamic athletic community.

Beyond sports journalism, Mia also interned with the New Voters Project for the New Mexico Public Interest Research Group. In this role, she played a pivotal role in engaging students and encouraging voter participation while managing the organization's social media accounts. Mia also served as the Online Content Director at KRUX 91.5 FM, the radio station of New Mexico State University.

Her diverse experiences in journalism, strategic communications, sports coverage and social media management reflect her passion for effective storytelling and commitment to making a meaningful impact in the field.
