Bio

Kimiya is in her first season with the Gauchos women’s tennis team and was a surprise addition to the squad.  She recently came to the U.S. from her homeland of Cologne, Germany, where she enjoyed playing and teaching tennis.  She is studying Chemistry as a major at Saddleback, hoping to follow in the footsteps of her parents who are both chemists.  One of her philanthropic projects in Germany was to raise money during “Volunteer Days” to help pay for schools to be built in Africa.
