At Doral Academy Charter High School, students are always looking for opportunities to innovate and create. When presented with the possibility to embark on an exciting journey of influencing, advising, and inspiring, none of us hesitated to accept. This new chapter for all of us entails hard work and long hours. However, we do it because we genuinely want to make a difference to not only the people around us but to every person this site can reach.

 The orchestrator behind every branch of Firebird Digital is our general manager Melanie Souza. Her strategic vision and meticulous organization consistently elevate our quality, fostering a vibrant online community within the school.

A large portion of our success and foundation is found within our Graphic Design team, managed by Amanda Acosta and Camila Nuñez.

None of this would be possible without the encouragement and immense support from Doral Academy’s very own Administration.

This is Firebird Digital.
