The Horizon Sun

Anja Asato

Anja Asato, Editor In Chief

Anja is a senior at Horizon Honors, and this is her third year in journalism. Anja originally started in journalism to become more confident in writing. Anja progressed from columnist to News Editor, and this year she is the Editor In Chief. Journalism is one of her favorite classes, as she is able to learn, share, and write about different events and ideas while collaborating with other students. Anja is thankful for the opportunities journalism has provided including a scholarship to attend the ASU Walter Cronkite Summer Journalism Institute and AIPA Fall Conference where she was able to connect with student journalists from other schools and learn from professionals. Anja hopes to utilize the skills she learned to contribute to the development of The Horizon Sun.

Anja is very interested in fashion and spends her free time reading about designers and trends and shopping. She believes that being involved in the community is very important, and volunteers whenever possible. Her other hobbies include ballet, baking, photography, and traveling. She hopes to combine her passions for journalism and fashion in a career in communications and public relations.
