Layla Beightel is a junior at Conifer High School. This is her third year on yearbook staff, and second year as an Editor-in-Chief. Over the years of being on staff, her love for journalism and photography has grown and turned into a passion she wants to continue outside of high school. Layla has won 12 state CSMA All-Colorado awards and a NSPA national Leadership award. She hopes to get more awards this fall while attending the national journalism convention in Nashville, Tennessee and throughout the rest of her junior year.
