Sam Gobal is extremely grateful and excited to begin her journalism journey as a junior this year. Her love for writing and storytelling began in third grade and has grown each year since, and she cannot wait to work in a community of other passionate writers. Her zeal for writing is evident in the other activities she does, including speechwriting at Model UN, serving as a co-President of Bellarmine’s Write the World Club, researching in Marine Chem, reading scripture as a lector, advocating for social justice through communications work, and voicing issues on a legislative advisory council. Gobal hopes to hear from each and every member of the Bellarmine community in order to bring more voices to the Lion.

Isa Quesada is ecstatic to be joining Journalism as a junior this year. Outside of Journalism you can find her involved in various places at Bellarmine – as a cheerleader, leader of Feminists at Bellarmine, in LINK crew, the capstone program, Theater, and Model UN. Outside of school she is a senior level Girl Scout. Apart from co – curriculars she enjoys spending time with her friends and brothers, as well as reading and watching movies. She is so excited to share her opinions and ideas with her fellow students, and be a part of such an amazing community.
