Mia Merciez

Born and raised in Bartlesville, OK, I’m the proud third child of four siblings. I’m currently a student at Oklahoma State University, pursuing two degrees: Strategic Communications and Human Resource Management. My passion for connecting with others and navigating difficult times has shaped both my education and personal interests.

For the past 10 years, I’ve been competing in ranch horse versatility, a passion that has taught me discipline, resilience, and the beauty of the bond between horse and rider. Now, I’m proud to be part of the Oklahoma State Ranch Horse Team, representing my university while continuing to grow as an equestrian. I compete with my 6-year-old bay mare, Kelsey, a talented partner who makes every ride a rewarding experience.
