A freshman at Pleasant Valley High School, Lahtika has a deep passion for storytelling and journalism. Some of her favorite pastimes include traveling, reading, running, and watching movies. Lahtika signed up for Saga in an attempt to step out of her comfort zone and try something new; she aspires to have a high school experience that is well-rounded and lived to the fullest. In the future, she aims to attend Stanford University–today, she is active in several on-campus clubs that can help her reach that ambitious goal. Lahtika is looking forward to broadening her horizons in her first year of being in Saga and excited to share her articles with her community.
