Hey! I'm Heather, and I am a seventh grader at Santa Barbara Middle School.

I love to read, write, sing, dance, swim, and act. I have been in a lot of plays, and I belong to Santa Barbara Youth Ensemble Theater, which is an acting group. One of my favorite roles that I have played is "Rizzo" in Grease. I am so excited to be in Teen Press because I we get to interview interesting people and learn about what they do and why they do it. When I helped by covering the UniTea Inauguration Ball, I always felt a thrill whenever I started interviewing. I felt comfortable and confident.

I think my positive energy and hard work can help the Teen Press now and in the future.
