Mia Sanchez

Business Manager

She earned a BA in psychology from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. Sanchez specialized in community needs assessments, in which she analyzed data about the community and identified its issues, then worked alongside its members to provide solutions to those problems. This experience inspired her to solve the issues she observed in her native area while also utilizing her background in psychology. This brought Sanchez to TWU as a graduate student in the MS Marriage and Family Therapy program. In the Rio Grande Valley, mental health is a topic that is overlooked and is still stigmatized in the community. Sanchez hopes to provide counseling to individuals, families and couples as a certified marriage and family therapist, and intends to direct her services to the unique needs of Valley members by opening a private practice in the area.
