Angelena Maqueda, Social Media
Angelena Maqueda, also known as Angie, began working as a media journalist for the Downey legend in her first year. Angie is an extroverted person who many would describe as incredibly loyal, curious, kind-hearted, etc. “I think of myself as a loud person,” Maqueda said. Her career goal after high school is to become a dermatologist. Despite only being a junior, she has been interested in this field of work since middle school. “It’s fascinating to me—like oh my goodness, the skin can do all of that,” Maqueda said. Angie wants to become more involved in school and improve her public speaking. She encourages stepping outside her comfort zone and social circle when asked why she joined a newspaper. Whether it’s from her goal of being in ASB, or simply from being in the Downey Legend, she hopes to develop new bonds.
