About

Hi! My name is Mikayla House, and I am currently a freshman at Mississippi State University. I am majoring in architecture and minoring in interior design and plan to graduate in 2024. One of my biggest passions in life has been theatre. I have been singing, dancing, and acting since I was three, and have been in over 50 productions around my community. My other biggest passion has been putting my faith in my Christianity. My favorite verse is Romans 8:28 because it reminds me to trust that the Lord is in control!

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on joining a well-renowned firm in a big city after I graduate with my bachelor's degree in Architecture where I can continue to learn and grow for several years. Then, my ultimate career goal is to break away and create my own architecture firm where I can continue to design and create as well as help others to do the same.

Outside the classroom

Since I was three years old, my biggest passion has been musical theatre. I have trained in singing, dancing, and acting and have even been to New York City multiple times to learn from and train with Broadway professionals. I have now been a part of over 50 productions in high school, community, and professional theatres.
