I am a junior at Bonita Vista High and this is my first year on staff for the Crusader. This year I am a photographer. I became a member of the Crusader to develop my photojournalism skills. This year, I am commencing my pursuit and passion for photography and photojournalism because I enjoy engaging with the community. Outside of Newspaper, I am president of the Life Aquatic club and staff teacher for the Artisan club.
