Amanda Jimenez, Entertainment Editor

As Entertainment Editor Amanda hopes to bring versatile and overall appealing stories to the paper for her first year as an editor but second on staff. For most of her free time she watches “Rupaul’s Drag Race” and creepy videos on YouTube. Her favorite publications besides The Pearl Post is the Fearless Flyer and Rolling Stone. Amanda loves her friends and would rather high school be referred to as Rat-Ville with one cool pack of rodents who happen to be her friends. She just wants to graduate and move to wherever the winters are winters.
