What’s up y’all! I’m Jared, I’m a sophomore and this is my first year on press and I’m super excited to start working with these awesome people! Outside of press, I am a trumpet player in the band and I play baseball for Westwood. When I’m not at band rehearsal or baseball practice, I enjoy watching YouTube, practicing my trumpet, and socializing with my friends. Go Wood!
