Taylor Stokes, Staff Developer

I’m a senior this year at OHS and this is my third year in the OC Journalism Department and my first year as Staff Developer. In my free time I enjoy going to the movies, listening to music, and hang out with friends. I’m looking forward to writing more reviews and in depth pieces for The Talon and taking more of my own pictures for stories. I can’t wait to have a good year where I expand my journalistic and personal horizons and get into college (hopefully).
