Anna Padron, Features Editor

Anna Padron is the Achona’s Features editor and Academy senior. Being a tennis lover since the 6th grade, Anna competes on the Academy high school tennis team and practice out in Tarpon Springs. When she isn’t slaying the court, Anna is attending Student Council meetings to help put on a series of events like the Winter Formal and Father Daughter Dance. She also runs the hospitality board, and is head of the Environmental Committee. Her favorite subject is AP Government because she enjoys knowing how the government works. It’s good to know what is going on in the government. When she is not studying, you can always find her at your local Planet Smoothie ordering her beloved Lunar Lemonade with strawberries. Ling with this, Anna could also be found watching her all-time favorite show, Grey’s Anatomy. Anna has two dogs, Jessie and Angus, known to be the “loves of her life.” She is known to be bubbly, and positive. Her personality can be captured in the bitmoji below.
