Leidy Venegas, Editor-In-Chief

My name is Leidy, and I’m a senior. It is my second year on magazine staff and my first year as Editor-In-Chief. I enjoy designing, taking pictures, and I hope to make a great publication. Outside of being on Talon staff, I am usually working, doing homework or hanging out with friends. I also like to visit new places to eat or take pictures.

He’s a coach on the field but like a friend off the field,” said varsity quarterback senior John Raybourn. Photo by Leidy Venegas
