As a first year photographer for The Downey Legend, Sandra Echavarria, 12,  wants to expand her expertise and passion for photography. While Echavarria excels in photography, she wants to major in accounting with a minor of photography at one of the worlds most prestigious ivy league schools, Harvard. Other than being an overachiever scholar, Echavarria spends her time reading romance novels and going to work at an event center. She is very quiet, but very friendly at the same time if you take the time to get to know her. Echavarria will never fail to make you smile and will always make you feel welcomed and important. 

“At first I was obsessed with capturing life in the moment,” Echavarria stated. “And I think overtime it became an outlet for me and that's why I pursued photography.”
