Mia was born in Lima, Peru in the year 2000. When she was just 2 years old she told her parents she wanted to work at NASA. As the years went by she wanted to become a marine biologist, a singer, a fashion designer, and eventually a bioengineer. Believe it or not, she had her epiphany thanks to a youtube video, which explored the future of genetic engineering. Needless to say that day she had found a scientific movement she just couldn't not be a part of.
