Hi there! My name is Mia Brabham, and I am a spunky, self-driven storyteller who aspires to inspire and entertain others. I wear and have worn many hats over the course of my creative career, including author, writer, on-air host, producer, and content creator. I harbor a love for all things creative, an interest in everything culture and entertainment, and a real passion for telling stories through words, film, and design. A dedicated leader and team player with infectious enthusiasm, I am a vivacious individual who loves working with people. I specialize in interaction and engagement and have a background in and knowledge of creative marketing and strategy. I enjoy conceptualizing ideas, putting them into action, and seeing them out through each stage of production.
