About Mikaela

Hello! I'm Mikaela, a Chicago native who made the move to Austin about two and a half years ago. Currently, I'm working in marketing, but I've got my sights set on a new path. I plan to start graduate school in August, where I'll be pursuing a career in therapy. My roots in Human Development and Family Studies, which I earned from Indiana University in 2021, have been the driving force behind this shift. My background includes not only a degree but also practical experience. I have been a babysitter and have spent time in classrooms working with children. There's a special place in my heart for these interactions, and I truly miss the joy that comes from being around kids. While the fast-paced and exciting world of corporate America has its appeal, I've come to realize it's not my long-term calling. I'm seeking a more fulfilling career, one that allows me to make a positive impact. That's why I'm drawn to the prospect of a helping profession, particularly working with children!
