Isaiah Nafarrete, Features Editor

I am currently a senior at  Bonita Vista High and this is my second year on staff as a Features Editor. I was previously the Videographer and chose to keep working with the Crusader as a result of the connections that I made as well as the pride I hold in the publication. The capability to cover stories that people normally would not hear about is a part of journalism that continually interests me. Outside of the Crusader, I am the BVH’s Key Club President.
