Shaina Taebi is the Backpage Editor for her third year in the Portola Pilot. For her final year she is excited to spend class time drawing more editorial cartoons and hopefully writing some interesting stories. Beyond the classroom she is most likely rewatching Hearstopper, screaming along to a Harry Styles song, or getting a headache from oil paint fumes.
Claire Liu is a staff writer for her first year on the Portola Pilot. This year, she’s hoping to experiment with journalism and find a unique creative voice. If she’s not in a comatose state because of sleep deprivation, you can find her doodling on her phone, listening to old Italian men, or watching long-form improv sessions.
