Hi! My name is Taniyah. I am a reporter for Livewire. This is my first year being apart of news writing. Some of my favorite things to do is hang out with my friends and go to the movies. I love taking pictures of different places I’ve traveled. Some of my hobbies are cheer leading and softball. My favorite subject in school is Math. Being a reporter is very fun. You get to interview and take pictures of many different things and events for the school. You’ll hear more from me soon.
