Phoenix Gerome is a freshman and a staffer for the LASA Liberator and joined the newspaper because of his passion in photography and writing. Phoenix hopes to greatly contribute to the Liberator by providing up-to-date news and photos and work alongside a great team of other editors and staffers. Although this may be his first year for the LASA newspaper, that doesn’t mean he is inexperienced. He has written articles and partook in photography for the Clint Small Middle school website. Aside from writing articles, Phoenix loves animals, playing sports, and airplanes.
