Hi, I’m

TIFFANY

This portfolio is a love letter to the six years I’ve been a student journalist, serving as editor in chief of The Prospector yearbook and Oro yearbook which both have been nationally recognized publications . I’ve been a student journalist since middle school and I have grown a great passion for story telling. Whether i’m writing a feature or designing an academics layout my goal is to always tell the story of the year.

When i’m not leading a staff of 23 in creating award winning yearbooks or mentoring middle school journalists you can find me advocating for student press rights as i’m one of the lead student journalists fighting for a New Voices Law in Arizona.
