Clark hopes to build a solid resume of videos to help him pursue his dream career of becoming a videographer for Red Bull marketing.
Kasey Engel, Associate Video and Broadcast Director
Sarcastic, dramatic and determined, Kasey Engel is heavily involved in Jesuit’s Media program, and plans to make it her career in the future. She is a veteran of both the Broadcast Journalism and the Advanced Media program, and she is often the person you see behind the camera every Friday night at the football games. As a current Senior at Jesuit High School, she enjoys bringing different topics and people to the spotlight through video media. Her favorite Broadcasting memory she made was when she was conducting an interview with our sideline reporter and 4 Jesuit students dressed as bananas at our Homecoming football game. From a young age, Kasey knew she had an interest in Broadcast Journalism, spending days on end making music videos with her friends, and making a DIY news station in her room. Using her experience both behind and in front of the camera, she hopes to bring forward student’s voices in a positive light. In addition to filming and editing, she enjoys volleyball, baking, and hanging out with her friends.

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.
