Alani Avila is a junior who joined Grotto News last year as a staff writer in Journalism I, where she discovered her passion for storytelling.
Alani remembers being an eighth grader, newly accepted into her dream school and curious about what it meant to be a Lourdes girl. She spent hours reading Grotto News articles, inspired by the range of topics and the distinct voices of student journalists. That experience showed her how Grotto News serves as a space for Lourdes girls to share their unique thoughts, passions, and perspectives.
