Mia Payette is a senior, and she's ready to make this year her best one yet. To help her achieve this goal, she's involved herself in many clubs and programs. Some of her roles include running social media for Sahuaro's Book Club (@Sahuaro_bookworms on IG), Link Crew leader, editor for The Paper Cut, and drum major for the marching band. For the past 8 years, Mia has put her heart and soul into band, and this year is no exception. Joining The Paper Cut last year solidified her decision to pursue journalism. More specifically, she wants to be a sports journalist, something she discovered she is passionate about last year. Outside of Mia's Cougar spirit, she loves to read, craft, take photos, and hangout with her friends and family. She's always up for an adventure and likes to be anywhere as long as the people she loves are with her. Her camera contains over 10,000 photos, and as the self-proclaimed photographer friend, the subjects of her photos are mostly her friends, family, and the places she goes. Mia is a nostalgic person, and taking photos helps her remember where she was at that exact moment in time.
