I am a sophomore at Bonita Vista High and this is my second year on staff for The Crusader. Last year, I was a Sports Copy Editor and this year, I am one of the Sports Editors. When I became a staff member, I fell in love with journalism and reporting on timely events. I also love working alongside my fellow staff members. Outside of Newspaper, I am a part of Bonita Vista High’s varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse team.
