Itziar Carrasco Gomez is a junior at Green Hope High School. Describing herself as a social and creative person, the GHFalcon was something that spoke to her. Itziar has two smart and optimistic siblings who help her out even when her computer is broken. In the future, Itziar sees herself living in New York, earning her master's in business, and pursuing business as a career.  As a method of self-expression, her favorite hobby is making clothes.  Itziar's favorite place is her Grandma’s house because of a shelf full of interesting trinkets that bring unique thoughts. Itziar says an ideal Saturday for her would be sleeping in, being alone, and watching TV on.
