The Campus

Aleäa Reyes, Junior Photo Editor

Aleäa is a theatre major and journalism minor who is almost nauseatingly enthusiastic about photojournalism. She is also the vice president of Swing Club, a Residential Advisor and a member of Student Experimental Theatre and now the Playshop Theatre. Her photojournalistic superpowers include unnerving people with the proximity of her lens to their faces and creating awkward silences in large conferences with the whir and click of her camera.

She is also currently freaking out about being a junior and sings loudly in the shower.
