Ashley Chinchilla is a senior at Golden Valley high school and is part of the new journalism class. She was born in Sylmar, Los Angeles, California, and raised in Santa Clarita. She is excited to write stories about Culture, Entertainment, Arts, and Local community issues since there are interesting topics to write about and to alert everyone of what is happening in the world and it’s very easy to catch visuals of these stories that can get a lot of viewers.

She loves to paint, read, and do photography, she also loves Halloween. She was also a part of a Christmas cooking competition for College of the Canyons in 2018.

Being a student journalist matters to her by being a part of something at school and getting to learn how to write, edit, and publish. She’s learning about journalism and being more social, and it has been an exciting experience. She plans to go to the College of the Canyons and study Psychology, and get a Phd.
