Cider Ayala, Associate Editor

I am in my third year of working on the Mountain Echo publication staff. I am a junior and an associate editor this year. I focus on opinion based writing and work on a blog all about dealing with change. I am hoping to also make a podcast this year with a friend on staff. Outside of journalism, writing is a big part of my life. I love reading and writing poetry, and I want to be a technical writer someday. I also enjoy listening to music, playing with my two bulldogs, and spending time with my friends.

Walking In Students and faculty gather at the main entrance for bag checking. On the first day of school, some faculty are less strict about rules as administration has not gone over new regulations yet.
