Marinn Cuda may be new to Journalism this year, but she brings to it high energy and high spirits. Since she was a kid, the two things Marinn has loved most have been writing and learning new things. Even now, she spends most of her time researching into her niche interests and talking about them to anyone who will listen (if you ever get the chance, please ask her about Mary Shelley) . 

Beyond that, she is also an avid participant in drama programs, both with Amador and the city of Pleasanton. She can most often be found and the Firehouse Arts Center either performing, working backstage, or in the booth. In her spare time, she also enjoys drawing, playing guitar, and reading. She hopes that journalism will be a way to converge all of her creative interests to explore the world around her!
