As Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Skyline View,
my greatest pride has been in encouraging and fostering the talent of our staff. Second to that are my own personal accomplishments such as creating an AP style guide for my college publication, and pioneering our school's first special edition newspaper.
My goal is to make news understandable and accessible
while exploiting my propensity for alliteration and
thirst for knowledge.

It's been a long day. You order an iced tea. At the bottom of your cup are a bunch of black, squishy, slimy balls. Mmm... While not aesthetically pleasing, boba has exploded in popularity in the last few years and has allowed a part of Taiwanese culture to grow here in the U.S.
In a show of support for undocumented students, teachers gathered on the California State Capitol steps to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on Cesar Chavez day.

President Trump's time in the White House has been marred by high turnover in the administration, nepotism, and fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants policy.

The proposed vote will determine whether the net neutrality rules, that were put into place in 2015, should be repealed. Under this new ruling, the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will no longer be compelled to offer equal internet service to all consumers.
The sexual assault claims that have come out recently have rocked Hollywood and many people's perspectives of American society. Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and Louis C.K. are just some of the celebrities that have been outed for sexual assault.
