Hi, I am Mia
I was born and raised in New Jersey and New York, but Israeli at heart from day one.
At eight, I made Aliyah and it was quite challenging. A new country, a new language, and a lot of challenges.
Cooking became my way to express myself, to connect, and to feel at home again. That passion grew into Kids Cook with Mia, a venture that’s reached hundreds of children across Israel, including many from the Celiac community, inspired by my gluten-free big sister.
At 12, I won first place in the National Youth Entrepreneurship & Business Competition (Shavot) and was later named the youngest woman on Raanana’s “Most Influential Women” list in the Leadership and Innovation category.
Today, I’m a young entrepreneur, speaker, and national ambassador of two renowned programs, passionate about empowering kids and teens to create, volunteer, and lead change in their communities one idea at a time.
