About the Contributor
Aaron Rojas, CavsConnect Features Editor
Entering his fourth and final year with his favorite publication at heart, senior Aaron Rojas has once again secured the prized position of Features Editor for the second time. Embracing the last staff team he will work with like a seasoned veteran, Aaron has been a staple of the newsroom since he stumbled over his then Co-Editor-in-Chief, Maïa Bethier, on the stairs while looking for the classroom in 2021. Though his freshman year during the pandemic now feels like a decade ago, Aaron has since perfected the “just one more minute, Mom” morning routine and dedicated his afternoons to various school clubs, including the International Baccalaureate Honor Society, French Honor Society and Gables Interact.
Primarily known as the guy who can turn the most ordinary school events into Pulitzer-worthy stories, Aaron is not afraid to express his journalistic passion. Rated by his advisor Mrs. 'Patty' Passwaters, as one of the best writers ever to step into the CavsConnect newsroom, he is extremely proud to have spent his high school time in journalism. He has become an award-winning writer with stories published in the Biscayne News-Times, the Florida Scholastic Press Association and often in the Best of Student Newspaper Online.
Flowing with crazy but ambitious ideas, Aaron has introduced so many new things to his publication that it is hard to all count at the same time. From introducing new interactive elements with the purpose of engaging audiences to managing the monthly newsletter and editing the daily 'CavPuzzle,' Aaron knows that his team has strengthened his passion towards getting CavsConnect the recognition it deserves.
While Aaron enjoys treating CavsConnect like a paid job, his free time includes kayaking, hiking and occasionally binge-watching the latest "it" shows with a bowl of granola bits and plain yogurt. As the countdown to graduation begins, Aaron remains uncertain about his ultimate major choice. For now, he hopes to keep his friends and classmates smiling around him before his unshakeable self-assurance leads him to a path that will undoubtedly be his perfect fit.
