REDTORCH Recruit: Mikayla Billin

Jess Reus / 15.11.2018

Experience

Throughout my studies I completed part time jobs as a Lead Counsellor at YMCA Day Camp Manitou and a Front-End Developer at Royal Holloway Students’ Union. Following graduating, I was a Social Media Intern at Field Day Productions and freelanced a website design and development project for an eCommerce company. Most of my digital experience comes from various university projects I have developed, including a digital storytelling piece focusing on the largest horse rescue mission in United States history. 

Education

After finishing high school in Minnesota, USA, I came to Royal Holloway, University of London to study BSc Digital Media Communications. I graduated with a First Class Honours degree and was awarded the Harrison Prize amongst others for outstanding achievement and highest marks in my studies.

Happiest when… 

I’m outside and doing something active with family and friends. 🌲👪
