Hi! My name is Meileen Arroyo, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm a senior. I'm currently the secretary of MEChA, project manager for NHS, and I'm also a member of the Sparrow club. My favorite music artist is Fiona Apple and I also love listening to French music! Fun fact about me: I have a turtle named Sammy, he's 7 years old, and he's partially blind in one eye (he's thriving and living his best life <3).

Junior Tasneem Jabrah explains that everyone has implicit biases that impact the way they perceive others but it's their responsibility to humanize those that dress modestly or immodestly. "I understand you're showing your skin because you feel like it, and not because you want to give anybody attention just like how I'm wearing what I want to wear for me," Jabrah said. "I mind my business and I hope people do the same for me.”
