Nima Ashtari, Community & World News Editor

Hello. My name is Nima, and I am the World News Editor for the Horizon. I'm passionate about American politics and world events. My favorite things to do at home are solve crossword puzzles, play chess on chess.com, and read books. The Road by Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorites. At school, I'm involved in Cross Country & Track, where I'm the Varsity captain.
