I'm Nia Moreno, and I'm an junior at Walter Payton College Prep. I'm really excited to be a part of the C-WAYS Research Team! I've always been extremely interested in science and research, so this project is an amazing opportunity for me!

When I'm not spending my time stargazing, I enjoy traveling, taking pictures, writing and listening to music, and volunteering at the Animal Welfare League.
