Mia Krysa

Mia is probably one of the most indecisive people you’ll ever meet. As early as she could remember, she never knew what she wanted to do when she “grew up” and struggled to figure out which college to attend. Looking back now, she can see how everything fell into place to make her who she is today. 

Where It All Began

Mia grew up in rural Connecticut, played soccer, and had a great group of friends. She was always interested in content creation and liked to create things independently—whether that was writing, scrapbooking, making birthday cards, cooking, or redecorating her room. 

A Husky for Life

By the time high school was over, Mia decided to attend the University of Connecticut. She liked the idea of being close enough to home but far enough at the same time. She was drawn to the love of sports that the UCONN culture carried with them. Long story short—she loved UCONN. Unfortunately, her time at the university was cut short by COVID-19, and she was forced to finish her undergraduate degree at home. Mia graduated with a BA in Communication in 2022 and quickly jumped into the professional workforce. 

Driven by her love for creativity and writing, Mia scored an internship at a marketing agency in Cheshire, Connecticut, where she wrote copy for the content team. While this internship gave her great experience, she found that once it was over, she struggled to stand out in the job market. She completed another short internship editing for a digital magazine but still felt she needed more experience to prepare her for the workforce. 

Grad School It Is

Mia began researching for the perfect fit for grad school. After months of research and lots of deliberation, Mia settled on Quinnipiac University’s Interactive Media and Communications program. She is now almost done with her first semester of grad school and is enjoying every moment of it. She plans to eventually enter the world of sports journalism or into the world of editorial work (she can’t decide on that either, so whatever falls into place). Mia is so excited to see what opportunities come her way during and after this program and plans to make the best of it post-pandemic.  She’s currently waitressing full-time while in the program. In her free time, Mia enjoys reading, writing, being outside, hanging out with her friends, family, and dogs, and listening to Taylor Swift. She also loves traveling, going out to dinner, and trying new foods.
