ABOUT: THE PROVO MERMAID


Hi! My name is Mia.

I am passionate about swim and everything water related! From water safety/parental education down to water conservation I'll run down any hill that touches the subject. I LOVE playing mermaids and teaching children how to do the same. I love warm weather and red rocks to sit on, being a desert mermaid in the state of Utah definitely has its perks.

Mermaid Events

Birthday Parties

Some kids want spider man or wolverine at their birthday party, but I wanted a mermaid! That wasn't an option for me so I figured I would just be that mermaid! Birthday parties can be both in the pool and on land. (wet/dry events)

Library storytelling

This is my favorite kind of event because: +its FREE at the library! +I can do it all seasons +I get to meet lots of new people! Keep an eye out on my Instagram to see what location I'm at to catch me having a clam old time!

Environmental Education

Learning about the environment is key to certain species' survival. I can be booked to swim at private/public pools, aquariums, beaches and even sit dry in the classroom!
