Senior Journalism III student

I’ve been taking Journalism for three years. My favorite kinds of articles to write are opinion, student life, and feature stories. In addition to writing the opinion editorials, I also draw the cartoons for them. I also love music and update the Press’s Spotify playlist monthly. Outside of school, I love to play guitar and golf. When I graduate, I want to pursue a career in journalism and study it in college.
