Maya Quinanola, a senior at Bishop Blanchet High school, loves to stay updated on current events from the New York Times, NPR, and CNN. She is an active member in the Bishop Blanchet community, as well as in her neighborhood. She volunteers at local food banks and is a member of TOPsoccer, that works with children born with innate setbacks either mental or physical. In addition to her community, Maya can also be seen on social media, such as, Instagram to stay connected with her friends and family. Meanwhile, she enjoys to share her photography through social media as well.

Within the Blanchet community, Maya has participated in several sports, such as Track & Field, Cross Country, and Soccer. She is known for attending all football and basketball games to support and cheer on her fellow Blanchet Braves. Additionally, she has been an active member of Donation Rotation, which primarily focuses on creating opportunities for Blanchet students to be involved in direct service within the Seattle area. Outside of the Blanchet community, Maya has worked two jobs, Just Poke and Red Mill Burgers, which is a central role in connecting her with students from schools all over.

Next year, Maya plans to attend a four year university and either study communications or computer science/programming. She is looking forward to sharing current events and articles with her fellow Braves, as well as, learning more about the Blanchet community and connecting with students from different interests during her first year of journalism.
