About the Contributors
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.
Caydence Davis, Photos Editor
Hi guys!! It’s Caydence, and I’m back for another year, and I am even more excited than last time! This year, as a junior, I’ll be one of the two Editors for the Photos section on The Journal. As some of you know, I’m still really involved with other activities at our school which are mostly just sports but also our Advanced Band as well. I’m really excited to create some of the best work you guys will see! I’m really looking forward to leading our group of photographers! Let’s make this year one to remember!!
Ava Campbell, Editor-in-Chief
Welcome back! My name is Ava Campbell, and I am honored to say that I am this year’s Editor-in-Chief of The Journal. Although the reality of senior year hasn’t hit me yet, I’m so blessed to be spending the end of my time at SHS with this amazing group of people. In my Journal career, I’ve been both the Sports Editor and a Features reporter. Outside of The Journal, I play the flute in our band. I also volunteer at Indianapolis Animal Care Services (adopt, don’t shop!), where I get to spend time helping dogs and cats whom I adore so much. I am a mother of two guinea pigs, whose names are Hamilton and Lafayette. You can guess, then, what I listen to in my free time. I also love baking, drinking boba, math and reading as many books as I can. Finally, I love you, dear reader, for caring about journalism! Let the fun begin!
Max Castro, Photographer
Hello! My name is Max Castro, and I’m a junior on The Journal. I’m working as one of the photographers this year. This is my second year on The Journal, and I’m excited to work with everybody again. The main things you should know about me is that writing is definitely a passion of mine, even if I’m not a writer, and photography is definitely something I’m interested in, especially with all the things one can create with it. Something unrelated to The Journal is that I love music, whether it be rap, pop, indie, metal or rock. Anything I can listen and vibe to, I love.
