Jisha Jinu, Entertainment Editor

Hi, my name is Jisha! I’m currently a senior and I am an entertainment editor for the 2025-2026 school year. I joined the Chariot because of my passion for writing and I hope to display it through my work! I’ve been on the Chariot since 10th grade and have cherished every moment! Outside of the Chariot, I’m apart of Science Olympiad, SPEC and Science Research. I also volunteer at my local ambulance, as a part of their Youth Squad, and at my church! I  love listening to new genres of music, singing, photography, reading, and playing volleyball!
