About the Contributors
Morgan Harmon, Photographer
Hey! I’m Morgan Harmon, and I am a new photographer for The Journal. As of this year, I’m a sophomore, and am on the soccer and swim teams. I enjoy going to school sporting events with friends to just have a good time. Another thing about myself is I love trying new things whether it’s food or a new sport/club I’ve never done before. I like challenging myself to be more outgoing and have more skills. So this year, I want to try new things like joining the girls lacrosse team or even meeting new people. I’m hoping I have enough time to do everything I want this year while still having fun. Aside from that, my main goal as a newbie on The Journal is to grow as a photographer and always learn something new so I can take better photos. Throughout the year I’d love to build friendships with those on the staff to really make this year fun.
Salem Ortega-Morales, Photos Editor
Hi! It’s Salem, and for the third and last time in a row, I am writing another staff bio. I’m a senior now, which is really hard to believe. I am this year’s Photos Editor. Going from a Culture reporter to here is a weird pipeline! I do quite a few things besides Journal, such as the Latino Advocacy Mentorship Program, Cards @ Camp, Cardinal Cadre and work. As of right now, I am still a McDonald’s employee for the next two weeks, and then I’m free! I love reading Junji Ito’s horror manga and learning German. I’m a huge DCU and Sonic fan. This year, I acquired my own Nikon camera, so I’m looking to start a photography business soon, so be on the lookout. Not only has my position changed this year, my number of pets has increased. I now have six dogs and five cats, and some chickens. Alas, some things never change. I am still your favorite Steve Lacy, Tyler the Creator, Arctic Monkeys and The Cure fan. This year’s staff looks very promising, and I cannot wait to bring you all this year’s photos to The Journal.
