I’ve always loved to write, and after last year’s Intro to Pub class, it inspired me to join the newspaper staff. I am a junior here at the high school, and love to learn. Outside of school, I love to be active, from playing pickup basketball, to playing disc golf, and even doing some pickle balling. I also love music. My favorite artists are Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, and Steve Lacy.
