Outside of the media classroom, Annie is active in many extracurricular activities in and outside of Jesuit.

Peyton Bechtold is currently a junior, going into her second year in media. She has always had a passion for journalism and photography, and hopes to expand her skills in this class. Peyton was inspired by her older brother, who took media when he attended Jesuit, to sign up for the class. He enjoyed the writing aspect of it and being able to share his opinions with the Jesuit community. This year Peyton hopes to use videography to capture important, yet fun, moments within the school like the drama productions, football games, and spirit assemblies. She is also interested in working within the sports scene to film videos for teams. Last year Jesuit Media filmed “Mic’d Up” at her lacrosse practice and she was very impressed with all the filming and editing that went into it. Peyton is very excited to now be a part of that same community. In Peyton’s free time she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, taking her dog on walks, and playing sports. In the fall she plays volleyball and in the spring she is on the varsity lacrosse team. She also enjoys playing pickleball, swimming, and hanging out with her sisters. Peyton is excited to share articles with the Jesuit community and have her opinions heard!
