Emily Montalvo, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Emily, I am a 17-year-old Senior at Royal. This is my third year in Journalism as Editor-in-Chief. I love to read and write. I'm so excited for this year. I am involved in many activities on campus such as Link Crew, Cross Country, Ceramics, Track, Academic Decathlon, Ecos Chicos, French Club, Student Equity Club, Science Fair Club, Athletic Training, Key Club, Debate Club, CSF Club, National Honors Society, and High School Alliance of Future Physicians. I love to hang out with friends, have tea, go to the beach, explore nature, run, eat delicious food, paint, write poetry, play with animals, volunteer at the hospital and nap. In the future, I hope to be a neonatal nurse.
