Liah Igel, Staff Reporter
Liah Igel is a Copy Chief for ‘The Science Survey’ and also the artist behind ‘The Survey Strip,' the newspaper's comic strip. To her, journalism is a form of expression that conveys raw emotion and personal experience -- writing allows for different people’s diverse stories to be communicated and appreciated by others, in order to bring light to relevant current events or simply intriguing topics. She views the art of photography as a method of visually demonstrating these sentiments without requiring words, and she is passionate about creating her own art for this reason. When compounded together, she believes that photographs, artwork, and journalistic writing can beautifully portray the essence of an experience. Liah enjoys exploring the realm of science and teaching others chess in her free time, hoping to spread her love for these activities to the future generation. Her favorite book is Tuesdays with Morrie, a philosophical story by Mitch Albom, and her favorite movie is Interstellar, a sci-fi film directed by Christopher Nolan.

Gabriela Tejeda, Staff Reporter
Gabriela Tejeda currently serves as an Arts & Entertainment Editor for 'The Science Survey.' She interprets journalistic writing as the art of telling a real-life story in its most fictional form. While many people may enjoy the plot and exhilaration of non-fiction stories, they may not always compare to the fictional style of journalism. In the field of photography, Gabriela sees a tone of voice, atmosphere, and even beauty in simple images. Photographing something is like capturing a beautiful moment that, when taken well enough, can convey that moment or feeling to the viewer. Outside of school, Gabriela is involved in Public Forum Speech and Debate, a Women In Business Leadership club, and the Business Society. Additionally, she enjoys reading comics or books that explore dramatic plots and/or romance. As she looks ahead to college, Gabriela is uncertain about her career path but is interested in the fields of medicine and neurology/pre-med. Alternatively, she may choose to major in English studies to further pursue a law degree.
Samie Lee, Staff Reporter
Samie Lee is a Copy Chief and Graphic Designer for ‘The Observatory’ yearbook. She is also a Staff Reporter for 'The Science Survey.' Samie believes that the most appealing aspect of journalistic writing is in its ability to connect people worldwide and spread information and stories to those whom it reaches. These elements are also heavily present in journalistic photography, where a heavier focus on emotion and visual representations can also convey the same meanings. Outside of school, Samie likes to fence as well as play video games. She is still unsure about what she would like to do in the future, but she would prefer to pursue something in the humanities filed, where she believes her ability shines brightest whether it is through writing or the arts.
