The Prax

Daniela Martell

Daniela Martell, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Hello lovely readers, I am senior class vice president Daniela Martell. 

Last year I was the Sports Editor and this year I am the Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Prax alongside Iliana Moreno. 

The year 2020 has truly been a historic and revolutionizing one. 

If one thing 2020 retaught me was the importance of knowing what is going on in the world. 

Like the majority of people, I picked up past hobbies during quarantine that I had stopped doing; I read my favorite novels, exercised, painted, and documented everything with my camera. 

My love for Journalism has only grown ever since I joined the class last year. 

My plans for college are majoring in International Relations and having a minor in Journalism. 

I am excited for all of the stories we will be covering this year with the new staff of The Prax!
