Shaina is currently a curious tenth grader, ready for the adventures waiting for her in Huntington High School. She loves writing about everything, particularly her interests, and is excited to be a contributing writer for the dispatch. She participates in chamber orchestra, a string quartet, and fencing. In her spare time she enjoys giving herself headaches over learning new things, juggling, organizing, cooking, reading, and perhaps most of all playing her violin and hugging her 85-pound german shepherd.
