The Bullhorn is an entirely student-run newspaper that aims to equitably give a voice to students who might not otherwise be able to express their opinions. We want to cover systemic problems but also how those problems manifest in our day-to-day lives. Ultimately, we want to connect public school students across Philadelphia, creating a district-wide identity that mobilizes and positions students to leverage the powers controlling the district.
Philadelphia HS for Girls | Junior | She/They
Hey! I'm Rowan, and I'm super excited to introduce myself as the newest president of The Bullhorn. The opportunity to help lead this incredible group of talented and engaged young people in Philadelphia is a dream come true for me!
A little about me: I joined Bullhorn last year as a journalist and fell head first for the opportunities I could have, and the connections I've gained from the people across the organization. Writing has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and combining that with my general love for knowledge and current media, can make sense as to why I love journalism so much!
I am a city-wide leader in Philadelphia Student Union, and since doing it full time for the pas year, I've had the pleasure of doing some incredible civic, youth-centered work! In the halls of Girls' High, you can will likely find me in a Media or Civics or Debate club meeting. Or, more common, being (annoyingly) silly around my favorite teachers and exploring the hidden-since-1921 hallways (shhh). Outside of that, I am probably shuffle-playing my Liked Songs on Spotify, doing some reading or watching niche hour long video essays on YouTube. My all-time favorite is "Twilight is a Psychological Thriller, Not a Love Story" by Shanspeare if you were wondering (the title speaks for itself).
ASSISTANT EDITOR IN CHIEF
Conestoga High School | Senior | She/Her
Hi there, I am Tanisha, and I am a senior! Throughout school, subjects like History, English, Global politics, and Math have intrigued me. I absolutely adore history and love reading historical literature (I collect coins, too, and have them from over 30 countries!). I am also a newspaper geek; I have been engrossed in newspapers since the time I learned to read! Moreover, I love debating, whether it be at the dinner table, in classes at school, or in my head.
EDITOR IN CHIEF
Mastermen | Senior | He/Him
Hi everyone! I have been part of the Bullhorn since my sophomore year, when I started as an editor. Ever since joining this amazing organization, I have loved the community and the people in the Bullhorn, and am so grateful for the experiences I have gained. Outside of the Bullhorn, I love to play sports -- soccer, indoor track, and lacrosse, for school, as well as skiing, hiking, and skateboarding outside of school. I am part of my school's debate and World Affairs teams, and would consider myself an active member in my school's community. I hope to go into political science or sociology in the future!
On top of all that, I love to hang out with my friends and explore the city of Philadelphia. My family -- my mom, brother, dad, and two dogs -- and I love to travel, and I love seeing the world and making new experiences through travel. I am so excited for an amazing year of the Bullhorn!
Germantown Friends | Senior | She/Her
Hi, I'm Sasha! I'm the Executive Producer for Bullhorn, but I started out as a Journalist! My passion has always been to write as an outlet and to educate. Joining Bullhorn has helped me carry that passion on. With the state of our world currently, I feel it is important to write about subjects that are not only specific to us as individuals but to us as a community, and I think it's fantastic to hear them from a student perspective and from a generation of change-makers.
Two of my favorite hobbies are reading and creative writing; my many notebooks and filled bookcases have much to say about that.
SLA | Senior | She/Her
I joined Bullhorn because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try something new that isn't medical-related since I want to go into the medical field someday. I talk a lot so much so I have millions of opinions thoughts and ideas. I wanted to put those ideas to use and put them into producing a podcast to spread information people my age should know about. My hobbies right now conclude of reading books and learning all the knowledge I can from news outlets. I like going out with my friends because they are individuals that are like me and we spend hours talking to each other. My goal in life is to be very comfortable in my work life balance because we tend to run our mind and body out too much with work and stress so figuring out a life with a reduced amount of stress would be my end goal.
Central High School | Senior | She/Her
Hi! I’m Maggie Gao, a senior at Central High School and a Chinese translator at Bullhorn. I joined Bullhorn because I wanted to immerse myself within a diverse and supportive community to make new friends as well as gain more experience in journalism. It is also a place where I can enhance my Chinese language through actively practicing my translating skills and expanding my Chinese vocabulary. Moreover, with a passion for culture, I am greatly interested in making reading articles accessible to non-English speakers.
When I am not translating, you will find me watching various C-dramas, analyzing the intricacies of the plots with its captivating plot twists and suspenseful cliff hangers. During my freetime, I go on YouTube, where I enjoy watching videos from my favorite YouTubers and music artists. Music is also a must during relaxation hours, and my favorite music genres are R&B, Kpop, and Cpop. Additionally, I love spending quality time with my friends at Chinatown, my go-to-spots for hangouts. There, I would often dine in at Mango Mango to order their delicious crepe cakes and dessert bowls.
I am very excited to be a part of Bullhorn again this year to translate some more articles!
LEAD SPANISH TRANSLATOR
Central High School | Senior | She/Her
Hey there! I’m Denise: the lead Spanish translator, Gilmore Girls lover, and a senior at Central High School. Coming from an immigrant household, switching between Spanish and English is a must so when the opportunity to help translate articles for Bullhorn arose, I got very excited. Helping the Spanish-speaking community is as incredibly important to me as it is to work with kids, especially from the Latine community.
If you’re ever in South Philly, you’ll probably see me riding my bike or going for a jog. I’ll most likely be listening to The Cranberries or Joni Mitchell, all while dreaming about being a college professor and making it on the list of New York Times bestselling authors. Except for skiing, which I do in the winter, nothing is quite as wonderful as running like you’re in a Hallmark movie! I love to read and write as much as I love coffee and romantic walks to get strawberry and butter pecan ice cream from John’s Water Ice. I am beyond grateful to be working with Bullhorn this year!
LEAD CHINESE TRANSLATOR
Central High School | Senior | She/Her
Hi! My name is Amy Liao and I am the Lead Chinese Translator. I joined The Bullhorn to meet new people and to get more experience working in journalism and in a newspaper.

WEBSITE/NEWSLETTER SUPERVISOR
CAPA | Senior | He/Him
My name is Patrick and I’m a Senior at the Philadelphia High School for Creative & Performing Arts. At school, I enjoy playing saxophone and oboe in different ensembles. Outside of music, I’m involved in activities such as my school’s Climate Action Club. I’m interested in learning about the environment & the impacts of climate change. I joined Bullhorn to be apart of a student-run newspaper and gain experience through my involvement! In my free time I’m probably watching a season of Big Brother or Survivor.
Central High School | Junior | She/Her
Hello everyone! I joined the Bullhorn to further my journalism experience. Journalism has been something I've been interested in for years. This is my second year at the Bullhorn. When I first applied, I was one of the editors of my school newspaper, and was looking for something independent to be a part of as well. I was really attracted to the Bullhorn community and joined on as a graphic designer. Now I'm one of the newsletter directors. I hope that I can continue spreading and developing my skills and abilities so I can best serve the Bullhorn. In my freetime, I'm an avid writer and hope to become a published author one day. I also enjoy drawing and video games. I'm currently planning a visual novel that I hope to start development in soon. My two biggest passions though are technology and environmentalism. I love experimenting with new electronics, coding, working with circuits, etc. I'm planning to major in computer science or engineering in college. As for environmentalism, I've been interested in nature ever since I was little. I believe that we need to learn how to preserve our Earth better if we want to continue living on it. I'm an advocate for sustainable clothing, trash pick-up, reducing food waste, and gardening.
Masterman | Senior | They/Them
Hello! My name is Nicolas and I'm a senior at Masterman. I love badminton (you've probably seen me if you play in the District), dessert making (favorites: rainbow crêpe cakes, tangerine panna cotta, dulce flan), stationary (especially pens and stickers of whales), and discovering new songs (stream Slowly - Weston Estate)!! My favorite animal is probably a whale, or a manatee, rabbit, penguin, or triceratops. In my free time, I love playing with my dog or getting boba with friends (fav order: crème brûlee brown sugar milk tea at Gongcha (50% sweetness, light ice, and add pearls)). I joined the Bullhorn to help expand its reach and provide students across Philly and beyond with reliable sources of news. I do a lot of graphic design work for other magazines and the clubs I run at school. Looking forward to a fantastic year! Reach out if you wanna chat (I'd love to hear from you!!)

For me, journalism is the medium through which I can capture the existential dilemma of people, illuminate the revolutionary potential of the oppressed, and serve as a bedrock to those who strive to behold a world devoid of inequalities. Bullhorn to me, seems the best platform to do so. I believe, and credits to Mr. Dooley, is to "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comforted."

Masterman | Sophomore | She/Her
Hi!!!! My name is Rory, I’m a sophomore at Masterman, and I’m a journalist. I live in Chestnut Hill with my family, and dog, Marco. I joined the Bullhorn because I thought it was a really exciting opportunity, and a cool way for students to voice their opinions and interests without any teacher or school district involvement.
During the school year, I spend a lot of after school time at rowing, which is always an interesting, but mostly fun experience. If I’m not rowing or doing school work, I love to read, watch new shows with my sisters, sew, or spend lots of time at my friends’ houses.
Central High School | Senior | She/Her
Hi everyone! My name is Atoishy Dayve and I'm a senior at Central High School. I'm a hard-working and driven student that is passionate about many currently relevant events and issues. I am deeply moved to make the changes we all need to improve our community.
I specifically joined Bullhorn News as a Journalist because I want to make as much impact as I can by advocating for people that are in need of good quality affordable health care, underrepresented/underserved individuals, people with language barriers, immigration issues, and so on. I'm also very excited to meet and work with amazing new people along the way. Outside of my interests as a writer, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, watching movies, baking, crafting, and traveling.

My name is Sevinch Rakhmonova and I am a rising senior of Central High School. I'm a big sister, student, eldest daughter, and friend. Growing up with a family of 7, I was always around people, so collaboration and making meaningful connections always came easy to me. I try to maintain a deep passion and curiosity for everything that I do and I love learning new things all the time.
Journalism and biking are my favorite hobbies-- ones that actually have motivated me to join Bullhorn. My main reason for joining bullhorn is because I want to have my voice heard. I want to feel important and I want my words to be read by someone else and feel inspired by it. I've always cherished writing and now I get the chance to finally flourish in an environment that best suits me and my personal goals. Thank you!
Germantown Friends School | Senior | She/Her
My name is Lily Jensen, and I am a Senior at Germantown Friends School. I've always loved writing, but I started pursuing journalism because I've always believed in the impact journalism can have, whether that takes the form of social change, spreading joy, or creating community. When I'm not writing articles, I enjoy acting, singing, reading, putting together outfits, writing poetry, and spending time with friends and family. I am also very passionate about sustainability; I am an active leader of our Environmental Action Club and a member of the Campus Climate Coalition at my school.
Philadelphia HS for Girls | Sophomore | He/They
HELLO, I'm Timmie! I joined Bullhorn because I've always believed in the power of words. I'm a storyteller at heart with a dream of becoming a surgeon or child psychologist, which would allow me to make a meaningful impact on people's lives.
Joining Bullhorn was a natural step. It's a platform where I can expand my writing prowess and create articles that resonate with people and stories that inspire change. High school has taught me that if you want to achieve anything, you need to know how to write first. That said, when I'm not reading or in my 250 clubs, you'll find me in the gym trying to buff up because, hey, a strong mind deserves a strong body!
Too often, people have thrown away opportunities to put their passion to good use. I refuse to let that be me, so let's make the world a bit better with each word we write every day.
CAPA | Senior | She/Her
Hi!! My name is Amaya Hopkins i'm a new member of the Bullhorns journalists team. I joined the Bullhorn because I am enamored by the idea of news for students by students.

When im not writing I love reading , photography and listening to my favorite songs over and cover
Furness High School | Senior | He/Him
Greetings, fellow humans! My name is Adam Marcello, and I'm a senior at Furness High School. I’m from Indonesia and immigrated here recently in December of 2022. Writing has been an on-and-off thing for me over the years, but after joining my school's media club and becoming editor-in-chief of my school newspaper “Furness Voices,” it has become a renewed interest of mine. I joined Bullhorn as a journalist because it was a good opportunity to explore my writing skills while also reporting about the unheard voices of Philly!
As for me personally, I love space! I’ve always been fascinated by it, going back all the way to my childhood. I hope to one day become an astronomer and contribute to humanity’s collective knowledge of this awesome universe we live in. Among other things, I also have a deep passion for anything science, as well as history, and mathematics. I also am a beginner piano and trumpet player and hope to improve as time goes on. My taste in music mostly revolves around rock. Reading is also something I very much enjoy, even if I only started to do it a little bit after moving here! I mostly enjoy non-fiction or historical fiction writing.
CAPA | Junior | She/Her
Hi! My name is Lidya and I am a journalist for the Bullhorn. I am a junior at CAPA, where I major in creative writing. I joined the Bullhorn after being a part of my school’s newspaper and realizing how much I love journalism and hope to pursue some sort of writing major in college. As someone who gets a good portion of their news from different forms of social media, the Bullhorn has helped me educate myself in the past and I’m excited to have the opportunity to do the same for other people! It’s a great way for young writers to collaborate and for young people to get their news from somewhere that is both accessible and familiar to them.
I love to write about media and pop culture, but also appreciate writing about things outside of my comfort zone, as I tend to take it as a chance to learn about something new and exciting. Outside of writing, I’m an avid animal lover and have a passion for analyzing my favorite pieces of media and literature, cooking things for my loved ones, reading, spending time with my friends, and hanging out with my pets, Daisy and Bandit.
Germantown Friends School | Junior | She/Her
Hi! I am a new journalist at Bullhorn, and I am very excited to write and use my voice to advocate for important stories and issues. I have always really enjoyed journalistic and creative writing.
I am a Junior at Germantown Friends School, where I am a co-leader of the Women in Stem club, a mezzo in the GFS a cappella group, a diversity ambassador, and a member of the community service club. Besides writing, I love to cook, sculpt, play piano, and travel. I have lived in Hong Kong and Singapore, where I was able to experience various cultures. Science is a big passion of mine. In the past, I have gotten the opportunity to do cancer research at Brown University, which sparked my interest in the medical side of science. I hope to go to med school and become an anesthesiologist.
Masterman | Sophomore | She/Her
Hi! My name is Ana Sorrentino and I am a sophomore at Masterman. I'm a journalist for the Bullhorn and joined because I love learning and writing about important topics and events, especially surrounding Philadelphia! I love the idea of different schools coming together to educate and write about issues they care about!
At school I'm part of the Debate and World Affairs team, I also play for the Tennis team and Ultimate Frisbee team. In my free time I love to hang out with friends, listen to music, and go shopping. This is my first year working with the Bullhorn and I'm very excited to do so!
Central High School | Junior | She/He/They
Hi! I'm Eleanor and I'm a Junior (terrifying!) at Central. I'm super passionate about environmental justice, disability justice and food insecurity. I care deeply about political engagement and justice. In and out of school I do organizing with groups that fight for environmental justice, disability justice and food insecurity. Outside of school, I love crocheting, reading ,cuddling with my pets (four cats and two dogs), organizing and volunteering. If you can’t find me doing any of those things I am probably rambling about my love for pigeons or marine life.
This is my first year writing at the Bullhorn. I joined the Bullhorn to be able to amplify causes I believe are important in an accessible way. I hope that writing for the Bullhorn will allow me to articulate the impact broader socio economic issues have on our life. I hope that the Bullhorn will be a safe space to explore different topics and issues. I’m super grateful to be able to write for such an amazing group :)
Masterman | Junior | She/Her
Hi! I'm Ana and I'm really excited to be a journalist for Bullhorn again this year! I joined the Bullhorn because of the community of school-district wide students and range of a student-led newspaper. I also really love getting to write about issues that I care about which can be made accessible to young people with the Bullhorn! Its also very nice to be in an environment surrounded by peers with similar creative interests.
For hobbies I first and foremost love doing all things New York Times games related, and I've been getting really good at connections lately. I also love going thrifting, playing tennis and hanging out with my friends and family! I'm excited for another great year!!
Germantown Friends School | Junior | She/Her
Hello, my name is Alexandria Stephens, and I work for The Bullhorn as a journalist! I use she/her pronouns, and I am currently attending Germantown Friends School as a junior. I joined The Bullhorn because I have a passion for writing and expressing my thoughts and opinions through journalism.

Philadelphia HS for Girls | Senior | She/Her
Hey! My name is Rachel Baidoo I am a Senior at Philadelphia High School for Girls.
At school I can be found practicing the harp, playing field hockey (goalie), or doodling. In my free time, I enjoy dissecting a good book, playing on what some may call retro consoles (2ds & Wii), re-watching a show, or finishing a puzzle. I joined Bullhorn to be able to spread awareness about societal issues that may be going unnoticed. In an era in which the world is at your fingertips, reliable media for teens by teens is important now more than ever. Bullhorn gives me the opportunity to pursue my passion for writing whilst working to better my community.
I plan on studying Political Science as a Pre-law major while in college and pursuing a career as a criminal defense attorney.
SLA | Junior | She/Her
Hi! My name is Nora, and I'm a journalist for Bullhorn. I joined Bullhorn because, as a youth living in today's world, I have a lot of thoughts that I want to share with other people and questions I want to explore answers to. Bullhorn is such an excellent opportunity to do that, as well as such a good way to gain a deeper understanding of the city I live in and refine my writing skills. I love to sing and dance, and I also really enjoy writing and reading poetry. I occasionally paint, and I listen to a lot of music. One of my biggest aspirations is to become more confident in my knowledge of the spaces in Philadelphia that I'm surrounded by and unaware of. It's also really important to me to find new areas where I can learn more about others and myself because I think it's important always to try new things and discover more about all the things you're passionate about. I think it’s a superpower to be able to write powerfully about the things that you care about, and I hope that it’s something I can learn to do. I’m so excited to start writing!
Masterman | Junior | She/Her
I love trying new things, which is exactly the reason I joined Bullhorn. Some of my hobbies are baking, drawing & I love watching the beta squad on youtube.
Germantown Friends School | Senior | He/Him
Hi, my name is Graham Kohn, and I’m a senior. I go to Germantown Friends School, and it is my first year at Bullhorn. In Bullhorn, I am a film innovator. I joined Bullhorn because I think it is a great opportunity for Philly teens to share their individual perspectives that might not be heard otherwise. I have always been interested in filmmaking and intend to continue with it in college, so being a film innovator should be fun. In my free time, I like hanging out with friends, making movies, and running track.
Downington High School | Freshman | She/Her
Hi! My name is Sophia Pan, and I am a freshman at Downingtown High School East Campus. Ever since I was young, I have been an avid writer, whether it found itself as an entry in a journal or a full essay report. Beyond this, I find personal strength in my tenacity and drive to always shoot for the stars. In fact, one of my favorite quotes is by W. Clement Stone, which goes, “Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.” It reminds me to always strive towards my goals with utmost determination, and even if things don’t initially go the way I expected, my hard work will eventually pay off.
I apply this ethic of hard work in everything that I do. Outside of now participating in The Bullhorn, I am an artist, a part of a math team, and a part of a robotics team, so I am constantly aiming to improve myself in these areas as well. For example, though I have always been enamored with the arts and design, which was why I was immediately drawn in by the idea of graphic designing here at The Bullhorn, I still strive to keep learning more. I am so glad to be starting my first year at The Bullhorn, and I can’t wait to see what we will all accomplish together!
Masterman | Junior | She/Her
Four joys have always remained consistent in my life: writing, filmmaking, music, and exploration. I thrive in any environment where I can combine these interests—which is why I decided to join the Bullhorn Film Innovation Team.
I think film is one of the most important vehicles of discussion. When combined with journalism, film helps people learn more about different communities, local news, and issues important to them. When I was younger, I used to make videos with my brother and best friend in different parts around the city, or on the way to school. We filmed a news broadcast called 6ABCNBC news, and since then I’ve been in love with journalism and creative film.
I also like to write —whether it be poetry, fiction, or narrative writing. I also enjoy reading, and at some point in my life I want to publish a book. At my school, I participate in Ethics Bowl, Voices (our school newsletter), African American Cultural Committee, and Yearbook (as of this year). If I’m not doing those things I’m either playing soccer—which I’ve been playing for most of my life— watching America’s Next Top model, or playing the Sims.
I’m still not sure what I want to pursue in the future, although I do have some vague ideas. A career field in political science interests me, but I also want to do something related to creative filmmaking and writing, if I can. My biggest aspiration is to make something that moves and inspires people, even beyond my lifetime.
Parkway Center City | Junior | She/They
As far back as I can remember, I have had a passion for writing. Recently, I began my journey of advocacy. During a phase of my life, I tended to focus on the negative aspects of the world and expressed dissatisfaction with them. But one day, I decided to take the initiative and get involved in doing something about these issues. I believe that taking initiative involves using your voice and platform to advocate for your beliefs. Speaking up can be a powerful catalyst for change. Unfortunately, many issues persist because individuals remain silent. If more people were to speak up, some of these issues could potentially be prevented. Bullhorn, being a news source, allows me to combine my passions for writing and exposing current issues. It enables me to do something I love while advocating for the things I believe in and working alongside many amazing, creative change-makers.
As a writer, I'm passionate about keeping people informed and engaged in the events happening in their community, and then some. I believe that it is equally important to highlight topics that may not be receiving the attention they deserve. I am committed to producing high-quality content that is both informative and engaging as well as growing as a writer. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to Bullhorn's mission through my work and to collaborate with such an amazing team.
Philadelphia HS for Girls | Junior | She/Her
Hii, I’m Aulona. I am a current editor for BuIlhorn and a junior at Philadelphia High School For Girls. I joined the Bullhorn because I find that news is such an important form of communication that a lot of students need for guidance during their most important years. Plus, joining the Bullhorn allows for me to explore my interests of journalism and writing in a fun and unique way. Besides journalism, my two other interests include baking and reading. I have an insane sweet tooth and my favorite genre of books is fantasy. In addition to these casual activities, I also play soccer during the fall.
Germantown Friends School | Senior | She/Her
My name is Cici Spaniel, and I go to Germantown Friends School. I'm working as an Editor this year at Bullhorn, and it's my first year! I've always been very into English and writing! I'm a Peer Writing Advisor at my school, so I have plenty of experience working with writers my age and younger and helping them with their writing.
One of my favorite things to do is read-- last year I read just over a hundred books, and I'm shooting for something close to that this year! I read a lot of fantasy but I've recently gotten into memoirs, psychology books, and women's health books. I love to work out and travel-- I've been to 7 countries so far. I've been working out nearly every day for the past two years. I spent this summer at an international creative writing program in Cambridge, UK! Writing fiction has been something that I've loved for a long time, and since I love that and reading, editing has always been something I've enjoyed. I interned with a local publishing company in my Junior year, where I edited and helped a book go all the way to print!
Central High School | Senior | Any pronouns
Hi! My name is Lena. I'm a senior at Central High School. At my school, I'm VP of the Unifying Vietnamese Community, and one of my goals is fostering a diverse and supportive community. As a FGLI (First Generation, Low Income) myself, I also want to help students become more aware of the resources and opportunities they have.
I joined Bullhorn in 2022. I have a passion for editing and wanted to be more involved with the community. Bullhorn was a great opportunity to combine my two passions. I think it's especially cool how it's a student-run newspaper. Joining Bullhorn has been a wonderful experience so far, and I'm excited to continue this year! :)
When I'm not doing work, you can probably catch me reading a good novel. My favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy. Otherwise, I may be attempting to bake or cook myself a meal. In the rare instance I go out, you can probably catch me at the movies or just taking a walk while listening to music. Fun Fact: I was that I was able to study abroad in Taipei this summer, but I had no prior Mandarin knowledge (lol).
Central High School | Junior | They/Them
hi, my name is Lena! I joined bullhorn because I have a passion for English and editing, but also wanted to get involved with my community more. Outside of bullhorn, I like to read and take walks. Listening to music is also one of my favorite ways to destress.
CAPA | Senior | They/Them
I'm a native Philadelphian with a background education in creative writing, based in Center City. I joined Bullhorn a year ago to advance my works communicative abilities! Succeeding as an editor is my next endeavor towards not only being a better critic for others but also myself.
Outside of writing, my passions include horticulture, aquatic biochem, and fish husbandry. If I'm not pruning the the garden, I'm feeding the fish!
Masterman | Junior | She/Her
Hi, I’m Rosie and this will be my first year with Bullhorn! The way Bullhorn is entirely student-led and brings together students across Philadelphia is so cool to me and I’m very happy to be a part of it. As a member of many clubs at school including the Asian Cultural Association, Feminist Club, and GSA, I consider myself involved in my school community and wanted to find a way to get involved in the broader Philadelphia community, and Bullhorn is a great way to do that!
In my free time, I like writing, drawing, listening to music, reading (my favorite book is A Man Called Ove), and watching old episodes of Glee. I also love to bake and hang out with my two cats, Coal and Onyx.
SLA Beeber | Senior | He/Him
My name is Aaron Foy, I am a Senior at SLA Beeber. I am an aspiring Track and Field Athlete looking towards running at the collegiate level. I chose to join Bullhorn because I know that a students voice must be spoken to be heard. I want to be able to speak on topics throughout the city and within my own school to have a possible impact on our society. Bullhorn feels like a great opportunity to achieve these goals. Along with my fellow students, I know that we don't have a perfect world and we also don't have the perfect solutions to fix the world. But, It is with these conversations and providing information amongst the community is where we can make strides to ensure a better future. I elected to join the media group and more specifically podcasting because I love to talk more than write and that is what my personal career path will contain. Putting my voice out into the world feels more impactful to me than words. I also do photography as well so there is a possibility that I will be able to take photos that I can analyze in my personal use and possibly share them with our society good or bad. I'm excited to see what the Bullhorn has to bring.
SLA Beeber | Senior | He/Him
Hello! I am Terrel Bundy. I'm a senior (#classof2024) at Science Leadership Academy at Beeber. This is my very first year with Bullhorn and I am so very excited to broaden the horizons of Bullhorn with its upcoming podcast and media. I hold an insane passion for multimedia, pushing myself into the realms of video editing, photography, and of course podcasting. I intend on going to college and pursuing radio broadcasting and journalism, with the aspirations to become a sports broadcaster.
Outside of my hopeful profession, I am an athlete. I've been playing baseball since I was very little and intend to continue throughout my college career. Most of the time you'll find me listening to music, editing videos, playing video games, reading, or even whitening my teeth, I'm quite unpredictable.

I joined Bullhorn because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try something new that isn't medical-related since I want to go into the medical field someday. I talk a lot so much so I have millions of opinions thoughts and ideas. I wanted to put those ideas to use and put them into producing a podcast to spread information people my age should know about. My hobbies right now conclude of reading books and learning all the knowledge I can from news outlets. I like going out with my friends because they are individuals that are like me and we spend hours talking to each other. My goal in life is to be very comfortable in my work life balance because we tend to run our mind and body out too much with work and stress so figuring out a life with a reduced amount of stress would be my end goal.
