Our Team

Mia is the Residential Supervisor at LDI and oversees the residential program. She is a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology. She gained her experience with residential programs, mediation, programming, and crisis intervention through her years as a Resident Assistant in a freshman residence hall at NAU.

She enjoys the chance to help students at LDI expand their independent living skills by overseeing weekly apartment inspections, teaching Computer class, and mentoring students that need a little extra help. She plans and supervises the weekly activities and social events for the students. Spending the weekends with the students is lots of fun and lets her get to know them even better. Mia also acts as Advisor to a few extended services students.

Mia really enjoys traveling and participating in outdoor activities. She can be seen at the local dog park with her two adorable dogs and loves to go hiking with family, friends, and students! She loves going on weekend trips to Disneyland as well as being a world traveler.
