About Me

a little bit about who I am

My name is Mia Schneider. I am currently a junior studying Marketing with a minor in Global Business. I am originally from Manalapan, New Jersey, and came to the U of A to escape the freezing weather.

Through my summer internship with Total Entertainment and my job at ME SPA, I have learned that I have a deep interest and passion for event and experiential marketing. Both of my jobs and my involvement in over five clubs at Eller have taught me how to be hardworking, adaptable, creative, dependable, and excel at time management.

I already bring strong traits as a dependable team member, and I am looking to add even more. In the future, I want to bring my event experience to the marketing agency world and build my career in New York City!

Why Marketing: the Mia Signature

Mia on the beach

Creating and designing has always been my thing. From the time I could remember, I was constantly making T-shirt designs, building out PowerPoints, and finding any excuse to bring ideas to life visually. In high school, I became known as the go-to design girl, always the one people turned to when they wanted something to look elevated, polished, and creative.

As I’ve grown, that passion has evolved into a strong interest in graphic design and visual storytelling. I love working with tools like Canva and the Adobe Suite, where I can bring concepts to life and experiment with different styles. In my free time, I continue to create, whether it’s designing graphics, building mood boards, or curating content that reflects my aesthetic.

Everything I make carries a distinct feel, what I like to call “The Mia Signature!”

My Journey + Goals

Why Arizona

Both of my parents attended and met at the University of Arizona, so becoming a Wildcat meant following in their footsteps while creating my own story. Moving across the country from New Jersey challenged me to become more independent, adaptable, and confident. Arizona has become a place where I’ve grown personally and discovered what I want for my future.

✦✦

These are the tools I am fluent in and use every day to bring ideas to life.

I design campaigns and graphics in Canva and the Adobe Suite, build client-ready decks in PowerPoint, and turn data into clear insights with Excel and Tableau. I also create content for Instagram and TikTok. Together, these tools let me pair creativity with strategy in everything I make.
