Meet Mikayla!

June 17, 2022

Hello! My name is Mikayla Mix and I am a third-year Occupational Therapy student at Washington University in St. Louis. I am spending 14 weeks at GiGi’s to complete my doctoral capstone project. For my project, I will be helping to redesign the Career Development Hub at the Playhouse with the help of our interns! During my time here I will also be leading our internship program, helping with programming, events, and learning about all things presidency and board related from Jenny Popova! I am looking forward to fun-filled summer at GiGi’s and cannot wait to get to know the GiGi’s community!
