Hey everyone! My name is Amna, and I am super excited to continue being a part of Sideline this year! I always enjoy getting more involved with the people around me and branching out to try new things with my friends. In my free time, I enjoy making music, going for early morning runs, and getting lost in a good book. I am really looking forward to expanding my knowledge and understanding in these next few years, and I can't wait to learn more from the people around me as well!

Hello everyone! My name is Amy Chan, and I transferred into the traditional pathway after spending a year and a half as a dual enrolled student. Aside from academics, I enjoy going on hikes, crocheting, and practicing yoga to preserve my flexibility as a former rhythmic gymnast. I’m also an avid baker, and it’s always fun for me to share treats with my friends and family! Sidenote: I, of course, make everything from scratch :) I look forward to working alongside the Sideline team! ​

Hello everyone! My name is Cyril Joseph and I am passionate to create for Sideline as a first-year student this school year. I look forward to creating content that is representative of the student body and the school’s core values. I come from a small town in Northern California, so I know how important looking out for one another is. In the words of one of my own favorite content creators Stan Lee: Excelsior!
