Mia, born and raised in San Diego, California, is passionate about both sportfishing and soccer. When she’s not out on the water, she enjoys unwinding with her French Bulldog, Chido. During her time at UCLA, her fierce determination on the soccer field and love for fishing earned her the nickname “BIG FISH,” a testament to her competitive spirit and drive.
