Arlo Connally Stewart, Reporter
Arlo Connally Stewart (he/him) is in his first semester at Santa Rosa Junior College, and is working towards transferring to a four-year University with goals to maybe pursue journalism or photography as a possible career path. He spent the last few years traveling around the greater Pacific North West, and is now trying to figure out if sports writing and/or photography are things that might interest him. He is excited to start working at The Oak Leaf and to hopefully improve his journalism/photography skills as well.
