FinalistBio
Hey there! I'm Hunaina Hirji, a senior at Yorba Linda High School, fueled by a burning desire to make a difference through storytelling. As an aspiring filmmaker, I'm hoping to attend a four-year film school, honing my craft and bringing impactful stories to life.
When I'm not immersed in the world of filmmaking, I'm a versatile athlete, juggling three sports: golf, basketball, and karate. These keep me disciplined and push me physically and mentally.
Community service is close to my heart. I believe in giving back, utilizing my filmmaking skills to support nonprofits and make a positive impact. Whether it's creating videos, documenting events, or raising awareness, I shed light on the incredible work of local organizations.
My ultimate goal is to storytell for change. I envision films that entertain, challenge norms, inspire, and spark conversations. Through thought-provoking narratives and compelling visuals, I aim to leave a lasting impact and contribute to a positive transformation.
