Hey there my name is Brandon Cruz, I am 22 years old and a Journalism Major at Cypress College and I am very excited to be apart of the Cypress Chronicle. My goal is to one day become a sports journalist for a major broadcasting network or for an NBA team.
My hobbies include playing basketball, beach volleyball, riding my bike, hiking, and watching movies. I love being active and if you can’t find me I’m probably out on another adventure.

Staff Writer
Hey! My name is Cristal, I am 19 years old and I figured since I talk so much, I might as well become a communications major and have found that I really enjoy the social media and public relations side of it. I have always been fond of storytelling and journalism is just another aspect of that and excited to see what this semester brings.
If you can’t find me making/drinking coffee, you can find me rollerblading and seeing how far my ’89 Volvo can take me. I enjoy going out on my own and discovering new and random places and making new memories.

Staff Writer
Hello there! My name is Karl and I am a Journalism major at Cypress College. I enjoy writing about entertainment and film, as well as political issues that surround us everyday. I enjoy looking at the world through other people’s perspectives and talking about strange and unique subjects.
When I’m not writing or reading about atypical topics, I enjoy watching films, going to theme parks, painting and crafting, and building LEGO. I also have a uselessly vast knowledge about the Star Wars universe that is nearly unmatched.

Linda Mai
Staff Writer
Hello! My name is Linda Mai, I am 20 years old and excited to be a part of the Cypress Chronicle crew. I chose to major in Journalism because I believe it is essential to discover and bring awareness to important news while making it easily accessible. I hope to report on humanitarian stories around the world in the future.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time in nature, playing with my dog Penny, listening to music, and watching anime! Eventually, I hope to be able to travel far and wide for both journalism work as well as leisure.
