Jimena Velazquez, Podcast Producer
Hey guys! I’m Jimena Velazquez, and this is my second year on The Journal. This year, I have the honor of coming back as the Podcast Producer! I’m so excited for this opportunity and can’t wait for all the amazing stuff planned out for this year’s podcast. Aside from being a part of The Journal, I really enjoy playing the cello in Orchestra and diving deep into books of all genres. Spending time with friends and family is also one of my favorite things to do, as well as listening to music. As we head further into the school year, I can’t wait for everyone to see all the amazing work The Journal will produce this year!

Lorelei Bennett, Sports Editor
What’s up, chat! My name is Lorelei, and I am a returner to The Journal, making me a junior. This year, I will be your Sports Editor and will be taking on all the challenges that come with it. When I’m not working on Journal stuff, I am either doing one of three things: playing basketball, listening to music or watching movies. I love basketball. I am a nerd when it comes to the NBA, statistics and random facts. Along with that, I am the shooting guard for your Lady Cards and will (fingers-crossed) be team captain as well. Me gusta escuchar musica. I listen to literally all genres. At the moment, I’ve been on an underground R&B craze with artists like Avenior and Maz B, who basically no one knows who they are, but it’s okay. Other than them, I love Giveon, Shawn Mendes, Jon Pardi, Jazmine Sullivan and Tyler the Creator. Enough about music, I love to watch movies. When I am with my brother, Miller, we are the biggest Disney fans ever and have probably seen every movie on Disney+. But when I’m by myself, I love watching rom-coms and history movies. Some of my favorites are “Before Sunrise,” “West Side Story,” “Django Unchained” and “1917.” Um, but other than that, that’s all about me! Make sure you read all of my columns and all of my writers’ stories!
