Joining journalism a few weeks into the 2022 school year, Nicolette Pence, or as many know her Nikki, took an interest in the photography portion of the class. She did many extra curricular activities such as bocce ball, tennis, and dance. However, journalism was another way that she could be involved with our school. Joining journalism was a way for Nikki to really interact with everyone in the school. She is very proud of the pictures that she takes, not only for school, but for herself,”I love taking quality pictures and getting to show my friends,” said Pence. When not doing dance, tennis, bocce ball, or journalism, Nikki is hanging out with her friends, going all out with big plans for a big day. 

Nikki is a very passionate person, doing everything the best that she can, including her school work. She ranked 4th in her class for the 2022-2023 school year and took many honors and AP classes. Through all of the hardships of school, her mom has been helping her along. Nikki considers her mom to be a very inspirational figure in her life, helping her do almost anything,”She’s kind of done everything for me and done everything with me,” Pence said. As she continues to stick with journalism, Nikki will use her pride and passion to capture the best photos possible in order to tell a deep and meaningful story.
