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 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. (Profile by Ashlyn Miller)

While she doesn’t plan to play competitively in college, she adds, “I’ll probably just play for fun, maybe do like some club.” When she’s not leading a newsroom or dominating the court, Sophie finds inspiration in music. “My favorite artist is Lana Del Rey, she’s like my all-time favorite artist,” she said, adding that her current favorite song is “Thunder.” Right now, Sophie is also tackling the college application process head-on. “My goal is to survive college app season,” she admitted. “I just started opening Common App and I’m just really hoping to relax and let things flow.” She has her eyes set on the University of Florida, where she hopes to “major in public health.” As she heads into her final year, Sophie’s focus is clear: “To lead with purpose, survive the Common App, and make the most of every moment.” (Profile by Tony Wallace)
