Welcome, my name is Zaira Mendoza! I am a junior at Catawba Valley Community College and Challenger Early College High School. Currently, I am getting my Associate in Arts degree and certification in informational technology: programming and app development. My passions are community service, graphic design, biology, entomology, and reading. I am involved in four clubs at school; Interact, ASL, Beta Club, and Juntos. From May 21, 2024, to August 10, 2024, I interned at my local community kitchen- The Corner Table. When I am not volunteering or doing school work, I enjoy watching movies, reading, learning about insects, and collecting comics.
