Junior Editor

Mia-Lee Winter

Mia Winter is our resident editor-in-training. Raised between the mountains and the coast of the Western Cape, she brings sharp instinct and serious heart to everything she writes, reads and edits. After spending a year abroad, Mia returned to Cape Town with a widened worldview and a fascination with the many ways people turn lived experience into language, art, and meaning. As part of UCT's class of 2027, majoring in English Literature and Linguistics, she is building towards a career in teaching, guided by her core belief in learning for life. Impressively, she plays one of her six instruments, composing music, collecting awards, reading, writing her own, or finding new ways to advocate for human, animal, and world rights.
