Natori Cruz, Editor

Natori is in grade 11 and an editor for the Horizon Sun. It is her third year writing for the newspaper and is eager to continue to do so. Natori is 16 years old and in mostly honors classes. This is also her third year at Horizon Honors. In her free time, she enjoys working on Photoshop, designing phone cases for her business, and going to concerts.

When Natori graduates, she plans on going to an out of state college. She was born on the east coast, so preferably somewhere there. When Natori finishes college she wishes to be a veterinarian, but could possibly also have a career in journalism too. Natori hopes to make a difference in the world by paying it forward. She is not sure how to do it just yet, but she knows the day will come.
