I’m Mena Ziegler, and I’m a sophomore at DHS. I think journalism is important because knowing what’s going on in the world around me is something I value. I also think its cool that at El Diablo we get to have a variety of students come together, and Mrs. Kraksa of course, and really become a family. A fun fact about me is that I am a mountain bike coach and am obsessed with Renee Rapp.
