Hi, I’m Diya Kandula, a junior and both a staff writer and photographer for the school news team. I’m passionate about capturing moments through photography and enjoy sharing stories that I hope my community finds both informational and engaging. When I’m not working on stories, I love exploring the world of culinary arts and taking long drives at night to clear my mind.
