About the Contributor

Kaya Bradford, Staff Writer

Kaya Bradford is a sophomore attending Heritage High School. This is her second year of Journalism. It has always been her favorite class to attend. Something that is very important to Kaya is her job, on a farm, where she works with horses, chickens, pigs, and goats. In Kaya’s spare time, she enjoys listening to (a LOT) of music, including Deftones, Modern Baseball, The Front Bottoms, McCafferty, Radiohead, Baby Keem, She Wants Revenge, Kendrick Lamar, and many other artists from varying genres. She also enjoys reading, writing, drawing, and other various creative outlets. Kaya also loves spending time with animals, including her cat Clancy, who was originally a stray but is now a housecat. One thing Kaya wants to do one day is attend a Radiohead concert. She also enjoys quite a few movies and shows, including "New Girl," "Criminal Minds," "Heathers," and all of the "Harry Potter" movies, although she says "Goblet Of Fire" is the best one. Kaya’s favorite books include "Lord Of The Flies," “P.S I Still Love You,” "One Of Us Is Lying," "Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire," and "IT." Kaya also enjoys comedians and Youtubers Kurtis Conner, Danny Gonzalez, and the Sturniolo Triplets. Kaya claims Matt Sturniolo is “the love of her life.” Most of all, Kaya enjoys spending time with her friends, animals, and family.
