About the Contributors

Shayna Dolin, Staff Writer

All the way from the infamous cheese state of Wisconsin, Shayna Dolin, a sophomore, brings her journalistic expertise into classroom 311 as a Staff Writer. Dolin takes any chance she gets to share her opinion and meet new people, landing her on the Falconer staff. When she’s not walking her dogs through Crest Canyon or spending her time at the beach, she can be found playing tennis or pickleball in her free time. She is so excited to explore all aspects of the school’s student body and have a great year.

Gabriela Morillo Dal Piccol, Graphics Designer

As a literature-obsessive, art-consuming, scatter-brained polyglot, sophomore student Gabriela Morillo Dal Piccol—known to most as Gabi—has always highly valued and recognized the power of words. Writing has been a long-time passion of hers, and she finds solace in the pages of books and the flow of ink on paper. Likewise, art has also been a constant outlet and inspiration for Gabi, and she hopes to pursue a design-based career in the future. Taking Beginning Journalism freshman year opened the gateway into an opportunity that would allow her to optimize and exercise both of her artistic assets. This is her first year working on the Falconer as a writer and graphic designer. When not studying at the library, Gabi can be found immersed in fictional chronicles, working on a new art project, blasting music in her headphones or indulging in shows she is clearly too old to be watching (e.g. Bluey, among others). She is extremely excited to contribute to the Falconer this year in both creative aspects and cannot wait to see how she will grow alongside the publication and its staff.

Priscilla Akin, Staff Writer

This is Priscilla Akin’s first year on staff and she is so excited to be a Staff Writer. Her favorite pieces to write are personal pieces, but she is always up for a challenge. Outside of room 311, she heads straight to the beach volleyball courts. In her free time she can be spotted at her best friends house, looking for concert tickets, watching endless rom-coms and volunteering in her favorite kindergarten classroom. She is looking forward to continuing journalism throughout her high school career and improving her writing skills.
