Val Diaz is a sophomore at The King’s Academy, where she is currently in her fifth year. Along with taking part in journalism and the yearbook, she is very involved in the school’s athletic program. Val plays volleyball and beach volleyball for The King’s Academy, as well as being involved in many of the school’s clubs and societies. In her spare time, she loves spending with her friends and family, traveling, music, and going to the beach whenever she can. A fun fact about her is that her family is from Colombia and most of her family still lives there. She loves to write about the different activities at TKA and all the different opportunities. She is a first-year contributor to the online paper but has taken Journalism and is an editor for the yearbook. She is looking forward to writing for The Lion Ledger again.
