About the Contributors
Adelaide Hess, Lead Writer
Adelaide Hess is going into her senior year at Jesuit. She transferred last year as a Junior from Northwest Academy. At her previous school, she found a love for photography, specifically black-and-white film photography. She loves being able to document moments in time and practice the art of processing film. She loves to photograph nature, from skiing on the slopes of mountains to basking in the winds of the Oregon coast. But Adelaide has also found an interest in writing her thoughts across a page, giving her photos a written story. She loves experimenting with new vocabulary or practicing how to captivate an audience with an interesting narrative. Adelaide considers herself a creative and imaginative person, always trying to see her life through a lens or what sounds the best on paper to tell a story. She finds her inspiration by finding quiet places in life, taking a walk in the forest, or spending time with her dogs usually helps her mind escape writer’s block. Adelaide wants to explore the journalism world of writing, growing her skills as an informative writer. Especially learning how to document and inform readers about the environment that she loves. Adelaide’s goal for the year would be to blossom as a writer but also find her way of protecting our home planet.
Julie Awad, Photography Editor
A senior at Jesuit High School, Julie Awad is going into her first year of Advanced Media after taking the Photography and Graphic Design course last year. She is excited to explore the world of media and journalism, as well and further her photography skills this year. Leading both Arab American club and Mixed & Multicultural (M&M) Club, Julie hopes to highlight the diversity of Jesuit’s community and advocate for student’s voices through her work in Advanced Media. Outside of school, she spent ten years dancing ballet, and is now one of the leaders of a traditional Chinese dance team. In addition to traveling around the world with a very touristy family, Julie likes to hop around local cafes and thrift stores and can probably be found camped out at a cafe with a book or a friend. With a mom from China and a dad from Lebanon, Julie hopes to advance her photography skills so she can capture the beauty of both their hometowns and communities on camera someday.
