This is my third-and-a-half year on staff. I began my Horizon career as a sports writer and photographer (check out my pictures @photobystephie on Instagram!), but I'm also passionate about graphic design. I love both watching and playing all different sports. I swam for 10 years, including one year with Westwood. I will be starting my eighth year of lacrosse, and my second as a captain of the Westwood Varsity team. When I'm not in the press room, I'm probably working on the staff of Warrior Design or sleeping as much as I can.

Leaping into the end zone, RJ Martinez 21 begins to celebrate his touchdown. Martinez scored the first touchdown of both the game and the Warriors season. “It felt good obviously, bringing a little bit of excitement to the crowd and our team because we really needed that. Good job to the O-line up front. You know it all starts with them. They made the hole for me, I just kind of scrambled through and I got it,” Martinez said.
