Through the program she directed the pilot episode of STRANGERS, featuring Zoë Chao, Meredith Hagner, and Jemaine Clement. Refinery29 quickly came on board to green-light Season One, and the series went on to premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and was the U.S. Centerpiece at Outfest 2017.

Mia got her start as an assistant to directors such as Jesse Peretz, Richard Shepard, and Will Graham and was a part of various long-running shows (NEW GIRL, NURSE JACKIE, GIRLS).
