Areej Zaidi, Photographer

My name is Areej Zaidi and I am one of the two photographers for The Chariot this year! I am a senior and will be attending Stony Brook University in Fall 2024 as an Economics major. In addition to photographing for The Chariot, I was this year’s Photo Editor for The Lance (yearbook), and Head Photographer for GladNation. For me, photography is a beautiful form of art that allows for storytelling and preservation of memories. I love being able to capture pivotal moments and events at NHP. This year, I have also been the president of NHP’s Muslim Student Association!
