Class of 2027

Hi everyone!! This is my first year with Westwood Student Press and I’m so excited for all I’m going to be doing this year. I’ve loved writing stories since I was a kid and found a new passion for graphic design through journalism and extracurriculars. In my free time, I love reading, coding, and working on my extracurriculars. I adore all my friends and family and my favorite thing is to make memories with them. I’m looking forward to this new semester and all Journalism will bring!
