Mia Molina is currently a sophomore at Carlmont High, and this is her first year in the journalism program. She is artistic and likes to create animations and short stories for fun. Over the summer, she was part of an art program where people learned and experienced the process of creating different art projects. She has experience in this field of interest and is looking forward to involving some of it in her writing and projects throughout this program.
