I am so grateful that I had the amazing opportunity to join The Fanfare during my junior year and I got to work alongside my twin sister Sam Zophin ’25, the head photographers Kostas Saravanos ’26 and Gaby Hernandez ’25 and the countless other members during the last two years of my high school experience. The Fanfare allowed me to sharpen my photography skills and I am forever thankful that The Fanfare welcomed me as a photographer.

Whether I was working on the Halloween galleries, taking football pictures for articles or snapping photos of the numerous Berkeley bands, I have loved every moment of my time in The Fanfare. Being part of a publication much larger than myself was so exciting.

Thank you to Mrs. Ortega and Mrs. McLean for being kind, understanding sponsors. Thank you to Samantha, my sister, for being incredibly patient when I needed help uploading or editing my photos. Lastly, thank you to Gaby and Kostas for being amazing photo editors. I am honored that I was able to work under the guidance of you all!
