Mik Owens

Biography

Hey there!

My name is Mikayla “Mik” Owens. I am in my Senior year studying Advertising with a specialization in Media Psychology. During my Sophomore year I was able to work under a doctoral student in the Institute of Communication Research at The Media School to gain introspection into what the field of media science is all about. It was one of many unique opportunities The Media School provides. Applying psychological, social, and communication theories to media design is something I am incredibly passionate about.

I have had the privilege to be a Teaching Assistant for Story Lab 1, leading undergraduates in discussion sections on the technical fundamentals of Advertising, Public Relations, and Journalism.

Additionally, I am a multimedia specialist with special attention to videography and editing. Thus far I have produced two short documentaries on IU’s campus, and only hope to make more!

Professionally, the last three summers I have worked as a multimedia specialist at YMCA Camp Tecumseh.

I aspire to continue my education at the graduate level to converge my interests in environmental sustainability, childhood development, and media psychology for Integrated Marketing Campaign planning.

My time at The Media School has been worthwhile, so if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email.
