Maryam is a 17 year old senior in her second and last year on the newspaper as the President, Opinion Editor & Editor in Chief. Maryam is the youngest of 3 girls, the oldest entering her senior year of college, and the second one entering college this year. Maryam is the daughter of immigrants, with her parents moving from their home country of Senegal in West Africa to the United States in 2001, a year before the birth of their first daughter. Maryam was born and raised as a Muslim, and this is the thing in her life she is most proud of being. Maryam's favorite subject is by far English, and she loves writing, reading, and everything contributing to the subject. Maryam is also a poet, having competed on the MKHS SNAP (Speak Now All Poets) slam poetry team this previous school year for the first time where the team not only made it to the finals of the Classic Slam where they completed against hundreds of young poets from all over California, but they won, being one of the few teams in the competition's history to win back to back. Maryam has always loved writing stories, poems, songs, articles, and so much more and hopes to become an author one day. Maryam's favorite books have to include The Hunger Games series, the A Series Of Unfortunate Events series, the A Good Girl's Guide To Murder series, The Fault In Our Stars, and so much more.

Audrey Segura is a junior at Mark Keppel, who edits the Arts & Entertainment section of the paper (and also runs the Instagram!) She loves listening to music and watching Instagram reels in her free time, just as much as she loves spontaneously picking up her friends to get acai bowls or smoothies. Audrey would like to say she is trilingual and can speak English, Spanish, and Mandarin, but only as a joke since she knows only a few vocab words in Mandarin. She is also interested in fashion, producing/songwriting, and her family. If you see her in the hallways, don't be afraid to wave or say hi! ᯓ★
