See Something, Say Something
February 2018
After a tragic school shooting at Parkland High School, I decided to write an article about safety precautions that students could take regarding school and social media.
The article provides contact information to Centennial High School and CHS Student Resource Officer as a resource for reporting suspicious activity.
Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?
December 2017
This editorial was written following debate over which holiday greeting was the most "politically correct". The fun, light-hearted tone reflects the spirit of the holiday season - no matter what holiday the reader celebrates.

New Horizons For Podcasts & Radio
January 2018
I competed at the 2018 New Mexico Scholastic Press Association Competition in the News Writing Category. All participants were seated in a live Q&A setting with entrepreneur David Wolf, who was creating a new radio app. Wolf explained his new app and the motives for creating the app, while participants were able to ask questions. Afterwards, we had to write a news article regarding Wolf's accomplishment.
