My name is Samantha Medina Diaz and I’m 21 years old. I was born and raised in Australia. I started to write stories when I was 9 years old. After graduating Year 6 in 2017 at Viewbank Primary School, I went to Our Ladies of Mercy College in Heidelberg. I went to school there until 2023. I started to participate in my school’s productions. At the end of one of the Senior School Production, my teacher got me to write an article about the play. My article was on the school’s newsletter website. It was my first article ever.
