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.
