Kavish Siddhartha, Associate Editor-in-Chief
Kavish Siddhartha is a staff writer for the Jesuit Chronicle. Kavish is a junior at Jesuit High School and has been interested in journalism since a young age. Even though this is Kavish’s first year writing for the Jesuit Chronicle, he took Broadcast Journalism during his sophomore year, where he found an interest in announcing for JCTV and creating videos. To further improve and expand his storytelling abilities, Kavish took a online summer class at Syracuse university where he learned to write and film stories.

Justin Bian, Sports Executive & Editorial Board Member
Justin Bian is a senior at Jesuit High School and the Sports Executive for the Jesuit Chronicle. He has played soccer for eleven years, and piano for ten. Along with those hobbies, he likes to visit new places around Portland with his family on the weekends. Justin got interested in Journalism because of his older sister, Andrea, who was a staff writer a few years ago. Although his older sister’s experience was a great motivator, the main reason he decided to join Journalism was because of his passion for sports. This year, he hopes to cover a variety of sports and write short stories about the games. He also looks to interview players, coaches, and fans, so that the Jesuit community can get insights on the sports teams. Justin would also like to pursue other forms of media, such as broadcasting and podcasts. He aims to bring relevant news around the Jesuit community based on current events on and off campus. At the end of the year, he hopes to have published many articles and have created lasting relationships with classmates and teachers.
