My name is Kara Barragan and this is my fourth and final year with the Crusader. As a freshman I was on the lookout for an outlet where I could put out my work to the BVH community and when I walked up to that school newspaper stand at orientation, my life changed forever. With the Crusader, I’ve grown immensely in my writing, managing and communicative skills, and art. My developed expertise lies in my action photography, digital design and art, and sport reporting.
