Alyson Cerna, News and Features Editor
Alyson Cerna is The Mirror’s News and Features Editor. As a sophomore in her second year in journalism, there is nothing she enjoys more than laying down with a single airpod in and blasting music as she writes. She'd be lying if she ever pinpointed a single music genre to be her favorite, but nothing is the same as enjoying the album "THE FIRST TIME" by The Kid Laroi. Her obsession with the “Nightmare Before Christmas" might be what many consider eccentric, but she likes it that way—as no amount of stuffed animals, figurines and clothes could ever cure this. After high school, she plans to pursue a degree in sports journalism at UCLA.
