Hello everyone! My name is Zahra and I’m currently a freshman with a love of art. I love to get involved in art related activities around the school and enjoy assisting in school beautification projects. I’m also an officer of the NAHS at NHP! When not at school, I love to journal, bake, and of course I love to draw! I adore The Chariot and I’m looking forward to the next 3 years!
