Marisa Salazar, Editor-In-Chief

Hello! My name is Marisa Salazar, I’m a senior at Bowie and this is my third year on newspaper staff. I love writing and to pursue some form of it as a career would be a dream come true! Along with writing, I also enjoy reading the most obscure and classic novels available, going to see live music, and playing various instruments. I’m known to dress like a mom, and am an avid vinyl collector. In the future, I hope to live in Northern California or Washington State while also traveling to various places around the world. Since I’m not the best at talking about myself, I’m just excited to be a contributing factor in making The Dispatch and even better newspaper than it already is!
