Hi I’m Keira Witham, I am a senior at Cam High and this year’s Stinger Sports Editor. Writing is my love along with psychology and child development. I have lived by the beach my whole life and try to keep my days positive. I have been an athlete since I was five and highly believe that being healthy is the best you can be. I love to smile and laugh and always enjoy meeting new people. If you ever want someone to talk music, sports, life, or pretty much anything with, I’m your girl.
