Hi, I'm Sophia Melendez! I grew up in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, CA for 15 years until moving to Arizona. I've always been a part of school clubs and activities. I've been a part of Students Run LA where I got the chance to run two Los Angeles Marathons. I've been a member of M.E.Ch.A and am currently part of the Speech and Debate, and Journalism club at Desert Edge. I am Chicana and am very excited to share stories about my culture and experiences on the Journalism page! Don't forget to check out my awesome team members pages!
