Estelle Ignacio (10) is the Features Editor of the Bulldog Times, and this is her 2nd year on staff. Estelle hopes to explore the different aspects that this school campus has to offer, ranging from talented students to opinionated hot topics rising around campus. She looks forward to meeting and collaborating with new people and being able to bond with them throughout the year. As well as being in Journalism, she is also the VEX Robotics vice president, in theater, and hopes to explore more clubs around the school, such as debate, science philosophy, and Model United Nations. Outside of school, she loves to read, crochet, spend time with family, and listen to music. A big part of Estelle’s life is music, and she spends most of her time finding and listening to new, niche music.
