Mia Barbosa, Managing Editor

Hey, my name is Mia Barbosa. This is my third year on staff and I’m a managing editor.  I enjoy writing and taking photos for the sports page. I like to eat my mom’s spicy popcorn as I binge watch Stranger Things. Using Youtube and apps to help me learn, I recently got interested in playing instruments. I am considering studying mass communications or social work in college.
