Martina Flores is a senior at Da Vinci Communications High School and the Opinion editor for The Vitruvian Post. She is excited to see what this year’s journalists will bring to the website as she experienced a great first-year last year as a journalist herself. She feels that she has gained a lot of confidence over the past year to fully dedicate herself to create impactful and truthful articles that will encourage readers to stand up for justice. Martina’s kind-spirit and open-mind are what fuels her passion for wanting more justice and equality in her community, and eventually across the world. She hopes that more people will understand her passion for a better society as she believes that is the first step in making a difference.
