Thanks for spending some time here. In essence, Mikaela is a curious learner, explorer, and hooper at heart who drinks entirely too much coffee.
Professionally, she is a writer, novelist, speaker, sport psychology & neuroscience researcher, and mental health advocate & activist. As a multidisciplinary writer & content creator, Mikaela is passionate about exploring the intersection of neuroscience and storytelling.
As an athlete, she played varsity basketball for Stanford University from 2016-2020 where she earned a B.S. in Human Biology (brain, behaviour & mental health), a minor in Creative Writing, and a Notation in Science Communication. Mikaela has also represented Canada on youth Canadian Women's National Basketball Teams as a teenager. Basketball will always be a touchstone in Mikaela's life, so you might catch her in some new threads sometime soon.
