Nadira Mitchell, 14
Navajo
Tucs, Arizona

My name is Nadira Mitchell, I am 14 years old. I finished 8th grade at Utterback Middle Magnet School for the Arts and will be attending Tucson High School in the Fall as a freshman. I am Navajo (Dine) on my mom’s side and Anglo-American from my dad’s side. Helping the community through volunteering, doing community service, getting involved in extra-curricular activities at school and setting a goal and working hard at achieving my goal has helped me to become a better leader. I am a Junior Docent with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum’s Teen Conservation Leadership Corps, interpreting to visitors the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert and assisting with camps during the summer. I like science, music and photography and hope to combine all those as I continue to develop my leadership skills as a UNITY Earth Ambassador.
