Fia is currently a senior. Besides being on the Falconer staff for six semesters, she’s a student ambassador, a part of the Student Athlete Leadership Team, and a member of the dance and swim teams.

On the weekends, Fia enjoys going outside to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. She hopes to travel to Iceland one day to see the waterfalls and mountains. 

Fia is also an avid reader of fictional books. Dystopian and sci-fi are her favorite genres while rom-coms come as a close second. She tends to start a book and not put it down until she finishes because it’s just that good. 

After high school, Fia will attend George Washington University with a major in computer science and a minor in journalism.
