Meet your Medinamite Staff!

Hi! I am Alexa Prifti (she/her) and I am a sophomore at MHS. In addition to the Medinamite, I am a part of the Key Club, French Club, and Book Club. Outside of school I play the guitar, piano, and dance pointe and ballet at DanceExcel Medina. I am a part of the Medinamite because I am very interested in journalism and love to write about topics that are relevant to my peers! 

Hi, my name is Bryanna Freed and I am a senior at Medina High School. Besides Medinamite, I am a part of Key club, and the president of ASL club. I am a member of The Medinamite because I love to inform people about the world around them! 

My name is Corinne Siefring and I’m a Senior here at MHS. On top of being a member of The Medinamite, I also play the clarinet in the marching band and participate in both Model UN and Huddle. I’m super excited to be a member of The Medinamite, as I love to write in my free time. 

Hi, My name is Ekin. I love cars. At the moment I have a 2007 Honda Civic SI and it was originally my brothers, but he bought a 2023 Honda Civic Type R. When he had it, he had made a conversion to make it an FD2 Civic Type R Front and rear bumper; he added aftermarket headlights and made the hood carbon fiber. After all that, he bought the Type R and gave it to me. Over the summer we painted it vivid blue rather than having it not paint matched. I plan to make this car work as this has been the first project car that has been finished (until I put on the spoiler, which would be done by Sept. 2023) unlike the other 3 cars.
