IMANI ANZAYA

Imani Nellie Anzaya is a junior at Lake Norman Charter High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. She participates in both her school’s Varsity and club soccer programs, which have both have won state championships—one for the club and two for the school. In addition to her love of soccer, she also likes to bake, take road trips, and just chill out with her friends and family. She adores mentoring youngsters in her community and seeing them develop while doing volunteer work that involves sports, most notably coaching soccer. When she goes to college, she wants to major in sports journalism and play soccer at the collegiate level. Attending WJMC not only gave her this opportunity but allowed her to narrow down her major. She is incredibly appreciative of this chance and can’t wait to make the new WJMC correspondent’s journey just as memorable as her’s was.
