I am a two-time Sports Editor and a charismatic Don in her senior year at Cathedral Catholic High School.  Following my passion for writing, I will continue a career as a journalist through sports.  One day, I hope to publish stories covering Olympic and professional athletes. My friends often find me reading a book, singing, or gazing out school gates waiting for senior year to end.  In the winter, I am almost always at the pool practicing water polo with my teammates. This year marks my tenth year as a water polo player.  I plan to leave El Cid bursting with my eccentric, colorful personality.  I look forward to giving CCHS and El Cid my best and nothing less.
