Meet Izzy!
Hello everyone! My name is Isabella Holler or Izzy and I am currently a Sophomore at Cibola High School, and this is my first year in Youth & Government! However I am heavily involved with Cibola's community being involved in 6 clubs and having an officer position in 4!!
Although I have never been a part of Youth and Government before, I have tons of experience in running social media and covering major events at school by taking photos and conducting interviews!! This year I have been managing Cibola Youth & Government's Instagram (@cibola_yag), my band's Instagram @t0werofy0uth, and doing advertising for Cibola troupe 688!!!
For this year's NMYAG state conference I will participate in the Media Branch, as a photographer! Outside of YAG, I participate in, Drama (Vice President), Makers club (President), NHS, AMBL (ABQ Modern band lab),and Yearbook (Editor).
