Madelynne Sandoval, Sports Editor
My name is Madelynne Sandoval, a senior at Loretto Academy and this year I will be working as Sports Editor for The Prax.
I play both varsity basketball and softball, but have always had a love for writing.
Although being an athlete is a big part of me, it is not all that I am.
I believe in the power and voice of the youth and am an activist for social issues such as feminism, mental health awareness, and the rights of immigrants.
I also work closely with the Catholic Church to educate children on the importance of having faith.
In the near future, as I enter college, I plan on furthering my knowledge in journalism and digital media.
My goal for The Prax this year is to spread awareness on some of the hardships athletes experience; including mental health issues such as depression and anxiety disorder.
Topics such as these are ofter disregarded in the media because it is simply seen as unimportant or not valid.
I want to help change that and be a voice for those athletes who struggle with mental health.
I hope to connect with readers and help them become aware of 21st century issues among the youth.
I hope to strengthen my voice and become the best version of myself.
