Hi there my guy, pals and non-binary pals, I’m Cheska Orias, ’26. I love all things art related which includes drawing, painting, crafting, writing, music and photography! Other than that I also enjoy side questing and doing random tasks to help my friends or peers! When it comes to coverage my speciality includes mental health issues, school actives and photography of school events! As this is my last year on The Pinion I hope to make it count while also training the current staff, so they one can take the mantel of Editor-in-Cheif next year.
Besides journalism, I’m always drawing, writing fantasy and sci-fi stories and cosplaying. Whatever job profession I decide to do, I will always be doing these on the side as it brings me lots of joy to do!
Besides my personal email you can contact me with my school email [email protected] if you have any article ideas for me to write or just want to ask my questions about my articles!

Kena Anien, reporter
Hi my name is Kena Mj Anien! I am a sophomore at McKinley Highschool and this is my first year in The Pinion. I joined The Pinion because I thought it would be something fun to do and also cause I wanted to do something new for a change . My goal this year is to do my very best so I can be a good reporter/photographer for the pinion. I hope I can apply all the things that I learn in newswriting to my everyday life even if I’m not reporting.
