Kathleen Joyce Burgos, Class of 2023 / Year 2 Video Productions

Kathleen was able to experience being a part of a school news production for the first time last year. The more she involved herself behind the camera, the more she was assured that this just might be a career worth pursuing. If Kathleen is not in the editing room, you might be able to find her reading a book, writing, dying her hair while listening to her Spotify playlist on shuffle, or in a deep sleep next to her cat.

Lindsey has always been interested in Video Productions ever since being part of the lower school’s digital media club. Since then, Lindsey wanted to be a part of Lancers Lately and dreams of some day working in the entertainment industry, whether it be in front of or behind the camera. Besides that, you can find Lindsey performing onstage, playing card games with friends, making some doodles, or focusing on streaming.

Samantha has enjoyed her time as a Video Productions student these past two years and has re-enrolled a third time to gain more experience in front of and behind the camera.

Samantha wants people to remember her as someone who strived for perfection.
