Hi, I’m Milla!
I’m a student artist and young educator living in SoCal!
About Me
Though my heart belongs to Southern California, my soul has been shaped by journeys across the globe. As a Navy daughter, I've had the extraordinary privilege of calling multiple countries home—from the historic streets of Germany to the vibrant cultures of Bahrain and Brazil, among many others. My heritage blends the passionate warmth of my Brazilian mother with the straightforward grit of my New York father, creating a unique perspective I carry with me everywhere. Through my travels and experiences, I've discovered a profound truth: genuine human connection transcends borders and serves as the foundation of our shared world. When I'm not exploring new horizons, you'll find me expressing my creativity through art—my sketchbook is never far from reach!
Education & Involvement
At Del Norte High School, I'm not just completing my junior year—I'm actively shaping the campus culture. As President of The Art Works, our school's National Arts Honor Society Chapter, I foster creative expression and artistic excellence among my peers. My leadership extends to Link Crew, where I mentor incoming students, and various other leadership initiatives that strengthen our school community. Beyond campus boundaries, I dedicate my time to supporting military families by volunteering at the USO in San Diego, honoring my own military upbringing. When not immersed in academics or service, I share my passion for creativity as a part-time instructor at Studio ArtHaus, where I help others discover the transformative power of art—the same power that has helped me connect with each new community throughout my journey.
