Hi, I’m Amilia Velez! I’m a junior and I’m so excited for my second year on the Dispatch. I will be the Entertainment editor this year and I can’t wait to cover some cool stories. Outside of newspaper, I’m a Silver Star so a lot of my free time is spent dancing. Other than that, I like to hang out with my friends, travel, and read. My favorite place that I’ve traveled to is Hawaii. Overall, I can’t wait to publish content and make memories on staff this year.
