She is the grandaughter of proud saba Natan HarPaz, Norma HarPaz z"l and Semën Mechnikov and Ida Mechnikov z"l. Mia is a student at Norup International School. She loves to do karate, be with family, listen to good music and to talk with her good friends. Mia is excited for her bat mitzvah and to continue her Jewish journey.
