Luz Gaytan, Editor-in-Chief

Luz Gaytan is currently a junior at Parkdale and is President for the class of 2023. She joined The Paw Print during the 2020-2021 school year after her English teacher Ms. Guevara from Freshman year told her she should join. She is a Chief Copy Editor and when she's not looking through articles that need help, she's listening to BTS or Pierce The Veil, bullet journaling, or watching Harry Potter and The Vampire Diaries.
