Nina Orlando (she/her) Tri 1 & 2
Hi, I'm Nina! I am a junior at Sage Creek, and I am so excited to be a PAL this year. I play lacrosse for the school and I work at the Boys and Girls Club as a staff. Some of my favorite things to do are hanging out with my friends and going to the beach. I love meeting new people in my classes, which inspired me to be a PAL. I became a PAL because I would have loved to know I had a place to go to when I needed someone to talk to. When I heard how amazing the program was, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I believe that everyone has the right to have a place they feel safe and have someone to listen to. One day, I want to study psychology in school and make a career in helping others. Come down any time, we would love to meet you!
Autumn Teagle (she/her) Tri 1
Hi everyone, my name is Autumn and I'm a senior here at sage. I love connecting with my friends outside of school by visiting parks or going on hikes together. I took AP Lang last year and am currently attending AP Gov.
I'm constantly talking out all my thoughts and feelings with my friends and family as it helps me process my own emotions and gives me a plan of action to take when something goes wrong. I want others at Sage to feel like they are able to get through their own obstacles as well, and that's why I joined PALs; in order to be that support that they might be lacking when it comes to having a place to express themselves.
