Mikaela Berner

Alumni Acting Coach

Mikaela is now a junior at FLA and a FLEC alumnus, where she attended her PreK to 8th grade years. She is an avid supporter of the importance of theater as a creative outlet, having been in multiple musicals and plays since her debut in Una Voce's Oklahoma Jr.! She has also helped with Una Voce's The King and I, Music Man Jr., and now Singing' in the Rain Jr. When she's not busy keeping up with classes, Cantabile, and any side job she stumbles into, she enjoys reading, acting, hiking, and drawing. Helping out with Una Voce has been something she looks forward to every year, hoping to help inspire the next generations of students to find a passion for the arts.
