Yardena Franklin, Staff Reporter
Yardena Franklin is a Chief Graphic Designer and Editor-in-Chief for ‘The Observatory’ yearbook, as well as a Staff Reporter for ‘The Science Survey’ newspaper. She enjoys journalistic writing as a method to inform people about important subjects, and to share ideas for which she is passionate, all in a constructive, engaging way. She appreciates the art of taking photographs because they force her to think in a different manner, framing the picture in such a way that it tells a story and captures the exact moment in time. It is a precise art that requires much forethought, in order to plan how the photograph will turn out. In doing so, it requires much perspective shifting and flexibility, the challenge of which she enjoys. Yardena loves acting, singing, and directing. She hopes to become an engineer, but she plans to continue to pursue writing in some form, either through journalism or as a novelist, in the future.
