I love photography, reading novels, listening to music, and playing video games. When I am not at school, I am most likely at my dance studio taking classes, rehearsing, or teaching kids the different styles of dance. Some media I absolutely love includes “Arcane,” “Wall-e,” Stardew Valley, RDR2, and honestly any book written by Marie Lu. In recent years I have grown to really appreciate writing as well and hope to contribute some interesting stories to The Prowler.

This is senior Isabella Matey’s first year in journalism.
