I’m Miles Noda, a high school sophomore based in San Diego, California.  I am intensely committed to social justice and law, inspired in part by my adopted brother and sister.  They have ignited in me a deep passion for adoption advocacy. 

 

I play varsity tennis for my high school and am a captain on my school’s Speech & Debate team.  I am the founder of the TEDed Initiative in the Carlsbad Unified School District, and I have composed an original research paper exploring the intricacies of "mixed" adoptive household linked here.
