Camille Radhakrishnan

Camille Radhakrishnan, Staff Reporter

My name is Camille Radhakrishnan. This year is my third year as a Lamplighter Staff Reporter. My older sister was a member of Lamplighter and enjoyed her experience, so I thought I would join as well.

For the past two years, I have created news segments for WPLD, our school’s weekly broadcast. Additionally, I participate in Sports Center, attending and filming one Dunbar sporting event per week. I enjoy the videography aspect of Lamplighter and having the opportunity to improve on my writing skills.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, as well as spending time with my friends, family, and pets. I am also a competitive swimmer. 

I am very excited to create more content this year, both individually and with my fellow staff members.
