- Miriam Morales
Hello! My name is Miriam Morales, and I’m from Myrtle Beach, SC. My main interests are robotics, Spanish, and engineering, and many of the clubs I’m involved in reflect those passions. I serve as Co-Captain of FTC Team 327 Lobotomists and Vice President of the Robotics Club, and I’m also active in Spanish Club, Environmental Club, Badminton, Baking, and Bubble Club. In addition, I tutor students in Spanish and engineering. Outside of school, you’ll often find me studying, spending time with friends, or enjoying a walk around Hartsville. I’m excited for this next chapter of our club and can’t wait to see students just as ENGAGEd as I am in these student-led classes!
