Cassidy Bankert is a senior at Truckee High School. This is her first year being involved in Journalism. She enjoys writing about national and local news as well as political events. She likes being able to inform students about events happening in the world, even if those events don't directly affect them. Her goals in journalism are to help create a more well-knowledged and socially aware student body, and to participate in the student newspaper, using it as an outlet for self-expression.
