Karina Mara is a Design Editor for The Prestige Yearbook. Karina is looking forward to creating a masterpiece with her fellow yearbook staff members Zachary Gephart-Canada, Alyssa Cancio, Cj Gorospe and Christine Valenzuela. Karina enjoys spending time on the internet and watching random, cool videos on Youtube, especially tennis videos because she loves tennis. She plays for Birmingham Community Charter High School’s girls varsity tennis team. She listens any song, not really country, but so long as it’s good in the ear and perhaps the lyrics are fantastic, then it’s a win. She hopes for the best this school year.
