Junior and first-year staffer Alia Hassan is thrilled to be a writer for the Three Penny Press, where she aspires to showcase the diversity of Bellaire High School through its many students, clubs, and events. Outside of TPP, Alia is an active member of the Bellaire debate team and the Food for Houston club, and she enjoys volunteering with friends at the Houston Food Bank. Her passion for language and culture is evident in her dedication to learning German, further fueled by studying abroad in Berlin over the summer.
