During her time as an undergraduate at the University of Maine, Mikayla held several positions and was engaged in numerous activities that greatly shaped and deepened her college experience. Mikayla graduated as Salutatorian in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Management with an additional major in Marketing. She was selected to be an Alfond Ambassador and will serve in this position while pursuing her MBA with the Graduate School of Business in the Fall of 2023.
