Jimmy Johnson is the Rampage’s Managing Editor and has been part of the news publication for four semesters now. He is currently 20 years old and was born on April 24, 2005. He is currently majoring in journalism. He has the dream to one day become an NBA analyst on TV. He grew up in Fresno, CA. When he was six years old, he fell in love with the game of basketball. Growing up, that’s the sport he loved to watch the most, seeing the Lakers and Miami Heat play while becoming fans of players like LeBron and Kobe, and he also would play with his nephew on a little mini hoop. He was a part of the yearbook team for Edison High School where he wrote descriptions and captions for photos and edited pages. These pages covered football, badminton, girls’ soccer, and leadership. He also took photos at the football games and around campus and conducted interviews. In these interviews, he was getting quotes from people on what they love about the activity they’re in and what they do. He also was a part of the leadership team his senior year where he would brainstorm ideas, create activities, and stay after school to help create posters for rallies and school events. In his junior year, he took an art class where he had to draw and design handmade projects. An interesting fact about Jimmy is he currently has an older nephew who goes to Fresno City College, and they are three months apart in age. They grew up with each other all their life even going to the same school every year, it feels like they are brothers.

Logan Payne returns this semester as the Editor-in-Chief. He has worked his way up from the reporter position, and will lead the newsroom with his best foot forward. He will also help the incoming reporters with their stories, photos and videos. Before joining The Rampage, Logan was involved with the Roosevelt Theater Company for four years where he wrote, directed, acted, and worked backstage for many productions. Logan has grown very familiar with the cutting room; hours slip away when he video edits due to his perpetual perfectionism. He is well-versed in the art of film and knows that every frame shown and every note heard makes a key difference in the bigger picture. His Youtube channel is where he promotes most of his personal projects. This isn’t his first time in a newsroom either; he’s put together many news packages for Roosevelt High, CART, and The Rampage over the years and is more than comfortable with conducting an interview or being the handyman on set. Logan can’t work on anything without being meticulous, and this eye for detail makes him a wonderful asset to the team. This is Logan’s fourth semester with The Rampage, and he likes to spend his time on campus productively. When he’s not in class, he’s in the library catching up on schoolwork or building a narrative with his team in The Rampage newsroom.

Sara Cisneros is 17 years old and is majoring in journalism. She was born and raised in Fresno and has 4 siblings. She found her appreciation for journalism during her senior year in high school. Initially, Sara planned to study and major in psychology but ended up gaining an interest in film throughout her freshman year of high school. She felt that she didn’t want to combine her hobbies with career choices so the in-between of journalism became something she could feel passionate about while also treating it as work. She enrolled in multimedia classes at CART and took part in video production related projects throughout the school year which helped to broaden her experience in the things she already loved doing.  In her free time, Sara likes to hang out at local music shows or spend time at events like Art Hop with friends. She loves writing movie reviews and putting her thoughts out onto the internet.  Among these things, Sara has also always felt a desire to create, Whether it be through art—traditional or digital—music, writing, fashion, or merely building relationships. She believes that putting herself in a position that depends on her ability to create and provide information to an outside audience will help her exercise both her creativity and social capabilities. She’s always up for a challenge. Sara hopes to graduate and transfer to Fresno State to pursue journalism and is excited for all the things that working as a reporter for the Rampage may bring.
