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.
