Hi! My name is Karla (junior) and I’m a first year photographer for the Crier. Being here at Crier is very fun yet nerve-racking (in a good way I promise) with all of the work. I have made a lot of new friends and love to spend my time with them whether it’s doing my work or talking to them about random things. I love to listen to music and as of now I like Laufey and The Weeknd! I enjoy talking to my friends as well :3
