Melanie Estrada, Managing Editor
Melanie Estrada is an International Baccalaureate (IB) sophomore at Coral Gables Senior High who really loves to be a part of CavsConnect as the site’s managing editor. Estrada attended Auburndale Elementary and Ponce de Leon Middle, where she was greatly involved in school activities and now wants to continue that trend throughout high school. Outside of school, Melanie loves to travel. She’s visited places like the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Cuba, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Chicago. Some of her favorite pastimes include studying, volunteering with the United Way and she hopes that soon she will be able to volunteer at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. Melanie finds joy in spending quality time with her friends and family. She is involved in amazing clubs such as the International Baccalaureate Honor Society (IBHS), Gables Medical Leaders (GML), Gables Earth, and the National Honor Society (NHS). She also hopes to make the best out of her high school experience and do so while maintaining a high GPA. Furthermore, she jumps to the opportunity to do anything different that may help her become a better student. When she is given the opportunity to do just that, she enjoys every second of it. In the future, Estrada hopes to one day become a successful cardiologist to save lives!
