Dania Yamani is a staff writer for her first year on the Portola Pilot. When she’s not calculating worst-case scenario grades on Aeries before a test, you can find Dania blasting Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams or waking up at 4:00 a.m. to catch a Real Madrid game. She can’t wait to learn about journalism and get more involved with the Portola High community!
