Mika Romo-Ortega (she/her) serves as the Associate Director of Community Engagement and Leadership. In her role, Mika supports Brandeis students in cultivating leadership skills and community connection through service, volunteerism, and civic engagement.
Before joining the Brandeis community, Mika worked across the U.S. and abroad in student engagement, orientation, and large-scale community programs—including three years at a U.S. Air Force base in Germany, supporting military families and local German partners.
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Mika has called Austin, St. Louis, Baltimore, Richmond, Frankfurt, and now Boston home. She holds a bachelor's in Education from Saint Louis University and a master’s from The University of Texas at Austin. Outside of work, she’s probably hunting for the perfect journaling pen, exploring new wine regions with her partner, or curled up on the couch with her French bulldog, Chico.
