Alani Avila is a senior who joined The Grotto News during her sophomore year as a staff writer in Journalism I, where she discovered her passion for storytelling.

She 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. Now, she hopes to continue cultivating The Grotto News as a space for Lourdes girls to share their God-given talents and unique perspectives.
