Haiqa Mian is  a senior, a second-year journalist, and the Arts and Entertainment Editor of Achona Online. Haiqa is a member of the Beta Club, National Honor Society, and the Math and English Honor Societies. She also participates in Golden Girls and Key Club. When she is not writing for Achona, she spends her free time finding new shows to watch on Netflix, browsing through her Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr, looking for new music on her Spotify, and practicing the piano which she has played for eight years. Her favorite thing to do in her free time, however, is to read new books or to reread her favorites, The Selection series and the Red Queen Series. Haiqa is very much looking forward to enjoying her last year of high school and is especially looking forward to Grad Bash at Universal Studios. After graduating from college and dental school, Haiqa hopes to pursue a career in dentistry as she is one of the people who always loved going to the orthodontist's and dentist's office. Haiqa can speak English, Urdu, and Spanish and once memorized where every country in the world is because she loves knowing about the Earth and traveling. Knowing Urdu is very helpful for when her parents choose to speak to her in their native language and for when she travels to Pakistan each summer.
