Hi, my name is Emily Fabián and this will be my third year with PLD Lamplighter as I am a Junior. I'm excited to test the waters in different areas again this year. Whether it be writing an article or making segments for PLD Lamplighter’s broadcasts. Last year my favorite segment I filmed was the Dia De Los Muertos segment. Aside from PLD Lamplighter, I enjoy reading webtoons or watching a Marvel film. I love the comic Sweet Home and the live-action show of it too! This year I hope to create more content that Dunbar students can enjoy.
