Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to be starting my first year in Student Press. My passion for graphic design, photography, and editing the photos I take led me to join, and I’m excited to bring those skills into my work here. Robotics is another big passion of mine, both in and out of school. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and playing table tennis. That’s a bit about me—I’m looking forward to an amazing year!
