Bio: Hey! I'm Mia, a junior biochemistry major from the Bay Area. I'm pretty involved on campus; I play rugby with an amazing group of people, work as a Gryphon in the first year dorms, and do research in the Balmonte Lab studying microbial processes in polar environments. I also volunteer at one of the local hospitals and am part of some great communities like BSU and Ostem. Happy to chat about anything at Lehigh - academics, campus life, or just what it's like being here!
