Hi! I’m a junior at BVH and this is my second year on the Crusader staff. My position this year is staff artist, which means I get to make graphics and illustrations for our articles. I joined newspaper because I wanted to work with a group of people to help make an impact in our school. I am also in the BVHS Key Club and recently joined the Task Force team for the ‘22 graduating class.
