Mia Carnie

Having lived and studied in Canada, Spain and now Paris, France, I bring a global perspective to every opportunity. Fluent in English and French, I thrive in multicultural environments and bring a contagious energy and enthusiasm to any situation while fostering optimism and positivity in others. As an outgoing marketing professional who is also a CPA, I have prioritized the expansion of my technical knowledge to accompany my people, teamwork and communication skills.

I’m passionate about building connections and continuously exploring new ways to bring people together!
