About the Contributors
Gabriella Treviño, Staff Writer
Gabriella "Gabi" Treviño is a senior at Robinson and a staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff.
No stranger to high school journalism, Treviño was a staffer for the award-winning Excalibur Yearbook during the 2022-23 school year. However, upon discovering her interest in video production, Trevino was compelled to join the Knight Writers staff. Treviño loves making videos and is especially excited about producing videos for Knight Mic, Knight Writers' man-on-the-streets style videos.
"I feel like [newspaper is like TV production] in the same way since we still get to do videos and stuff," Treviño said.
Outside of journalism, Treviño is a rap music enthusiast. Her favorite artist is Kanye West.
"Truly, no one does it like him," Treviño said.
A big role model in Treviño's life is her mother. She feels that her mother giving birth and raising her is a good enough reason to earn that title from her.
After high school, Treviño pictures herself being rich and wealthy and having the means to support herself. Something that keeps Treviño motivated and on task, even through tough times would be her fear of failure.
"I feel like either that or the thought of getting in trouble," Treviño said.

Briana Garcia, Senior Staff Writer
Briana Garcia is a junior at Robinson and a Senior Staff Writer of Knight Writers. This is her second year on staff.
Garcia was brought to Journalism by a lack of interest in any other elective the school offered. However, she found an open and creative environment when she came into the newsroom.
"I thought there were terrible options, but I feel like there are a good group of people in journalism, like to be in this class you have to have some kind of initiative, some character," Garcia said.
During her time on staff, Garcia has been able to pursue her interest in photography. While she enjoys a more artistic approach to photography, she has found an appreciation for sports multimedia.
"More specifically sports, I love taking photos and doing photo galleries of games," Garcia said
Her passion for photography expands past her schoolwork, as she spends time documenting her own world through the art form. Garcia expresses her creativity most often through fashion. She finds her favorite unique pieces when thrifting, a craft that she has mastered. She also loves to express herself in more permanent ways. Garcia has several patchwork-style tattoos representing her music taste and personal style even further than just her clothes.
"I bought my friend a tattoo gun for her birthday, she just gives me any tattoos I want. Most of my tattoos are band or music artist related, I'm really into music and I like to express that," Garcia said.
Garcia dreams of going to fashion school to express her full potential in the industry.
"My dream school is Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York; I want to go into fashion business or fashion design. I don't know how to draw, but I am really good at sewing and all the business aspects of it," Garcia said.

Janiece Mitchner, Lead Illustrator
Janiece Mitchner is a senior at Robinson High School and is the Lead Illustrator of the Knight Writers. This is her third year on staff.
Despite being put into journalism as an accident, Mitchner has chosen to stay in the class. Surprisingly, she found one aspect of this class especially enjoyable.
"I thought it would be fun and I don't have to write stories, instead I get to draw," Mitchner said.
After watching Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas in sixth grade, Mitchner's passion for art was sparked. Since then, she has been creating digital art in her free time. Upon graduating, she plans on majoring in illustration or sequential art.
"I love the idea of trying to capture the most emotion or importance in a single or multiple image(s) that tells a story, rather than with words. I hope to one day earn an award or Oscar for my art or a New York Times best-selling novel," Mitchner said.
Outside of working in journalism, Mitchner is also a part of culinary leadership and enjoys spending her free time working in the kitchen.
"I like to help out, stay after in the morning, help with events, and such," Mitchner said.
You can also find Mitchner spending time working in her clubs such as S2S (Student 2 Student) where she works as an events coordinator, as well as FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America), where she holds the position as the president.
"I'm really excited, hopefully, we can get some people to join the club this year and get a lot more people into competitions and pro start," Mitchner said.
