Mia will attain a doctorate in Occupational Therapy, an OTD. Mia sees herself traveling as an OTD around the country and world but
also in Bangladesh, where her roots are. She loves art and the ability to tell stories through self-expression as she sees the importance
of occupational therapy for future patients. Mia works approximately 22 hours a week at Winn Dixie and loves engaging with the
customers. She plans to attend the University of Florida or Florida State University.
