Hello! I'm a 12th grader here at Cypress High School. This is my third year in Journalism and I will be the business manager for the second year in a row. I came back to Journalism because I love the friends I have made as well as the teacher. I can not wait to write for our paper one last time. I'm also currently working at Porto's Bakery in Buena Park and love spending time with friends and family.
