Christianna Schiotis, Reporter
Christianna Schiotis is 18 years old and fresh out of high school. She graduated in 2023 from Sanger High School with plenty of merit and awards. She graduated with California Scholarship Federation (CSF) and a State Seal of Civic Engagement. She has made it clear that just because she is young, do not underestimate her.
Schiotis was in journalism classes for two of her high school years. In her first year, she was the Photo Editor. Also in her first year, she was in charge of her school's Arts and Literary magazine, which got tenth in the nation at NSPA’s journalism conference. For her Senior year, she was her high school’s newspaper's Editor in Chief, where she led a group of 23 students. During her time, she made her mark and her story got third in the nation. She was ecstatic and will forever brag about it. She is also very thankful for the experience and the amazing staff she had.
On top of that, she fell in love with photography. She entered many competitions and even opened her own small photography business. One of her pictures got first place in its division at the Fresno Fairs Junior Art Exhibit. Some of her photos are currently competing nationally. In her photography classes, she also got Adobe Photoshop certified. She currently shoots with a Canon R6 and a 24-105mm lens.
Behind all the awards she absolutely loves dinosaurs. She has an abundance of dinosaur plushies and accessories. She lives for the color pink- anything pink she wants or already has. She also loves her cat Mocha and puppy Azura. She loves to spend time with her best friend of seven years and her boyfriend of three years. She grew up in Fresno with her three siblings, all younger than her. She hopes to do something in the journalism field since she fell in love with it but doesn’t know what yet.
