Hi, I’m Miki.

Leading and learning through research, community-building, and athletics.

Who I Am

I’m Mikayla Chan-- Miki for short! I’m driven by a love of sharing knowledge and sparking connection, whether through leadership, mentoring, or building communities that learn together. I’m curious about the social, environmental, and historical forces that shape our world, and I channel that curiosity into research, creative expression, and athletics.

These are spaces where I can keep exploring and help others grow alongside me.
