Mica Maltzman is a senior at Georgetown Day School in Washington, DC, where she is an editor for the school's newspaper, the head of the Jewish Student Coalition and a group called Student Voices, and a member of Model UN. Outside of school, she can be found at dance or a NFTY event as she serves as her region's Programming Vice President for the upcoming year. Beyond obsessively reading the news, she also likes to spend her free time thrifting or attempting to understand what her phone is saying in Spanish.
