My name is Mia Gasero and I am an enrolled tribal member of the Navajo Nation. I grew up in Maple Valley, WA where I graduated from Tahoma High School while attending Green River Community College through Running Start for a year. I have lived in the greater Seattle area my whole life but I strive to visit my relatives on the reservation once or twice a year. Currently I am a second year student at the University of Washington with an intended major in Business and a double minor in Nutrition and American Indian Studies. I chose these two minors as I find it very important to understand the nutrients we put into our bodies and to learn more about my ancestors who fought for the lives we have today. After my time as an undergrad student, I hope to acquire a career in finance or information systems then to pursue a master’s years down the road. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, going to museums and thrift shopping.
