Ari Tajonar, Culture Reporter
Hi! I’m Ari Tajonar, I’m a junior and this is my first year on The Journal. I’m very excited to be a part of the Culture section this year and see what lies ahead for the 2025-2026 school year! I’ve always loved writing, and taking Journalism last year completely opened my eyes to a whole new aspect of writing. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and excited for what amazing work gets produced this year! I love spending my free time listening to music–especially bands like Deftones, Radiohead and My Chemical Romance. I also enjoy the autumn weather, baking and exploring different forms of art. My favorite subjects in school have always been English, History or any Art classes. Once I was introduced to Journalism, it quickly became my top favorite. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to a great year and seeing everyone again next year!
