Cheska Orias, Editor-in-Chief

Pronouns: They/Them

Hi there my guy, gals 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-Chief 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!

*I do not consent for any of my published works [articles, art, pictures, etc…] to be fed/used in AI whats so ever
