What’s up! My name is Ram Chauradia and I am a senior at Lincoln Southwest. This is my first year in Mass Media and I am excited to keep the school updated through stories and take pictures of sporting events. Besides Mass Media, I am also in Speech, Track, and I’m the Chapter Operation Officer for FBLA. Outside of school, I like to play and watch basketball, spend time with family, and improve my social media pages. I am trying to reach 10,000 followers on TikTok before the year ends.
