Kayla Leon, Photo & Art Editor

Hi! My name is Kayla and I’m 17 years old. I’m a senior here at Venice High and this is my second year in The Oarsman having a position as Photo & Art Editor. A couple of fun facts about me are that I’m a photographer. My photos have been featured in different galleries and competitions and I have experience in film making as well. I like to binge-watch movies and I have a cat named Phoebe.

Fraternal Twins November 1 2002 Diana is older by 3 minutes C-Section Favorite part about being a twin “When one person knows us, they feel they are closer to the other twin for some reason. So we become friends with each others’ friends.” - Gabby “You get to know people faster because they know that twin.”- Diana Worst Part about being a twin When people get us mixed up they get really embarrassed but we’ve been dealing with that our entire lives. Funny Twin Story: “When we were in middle school we were too scared to actually switch classes with each other. But we pretended to switch classes. We switched each others’ clothes and backpacks and acted like the other twin. And people thought we switched classes, but in reality it was us the whole time.” - Gabby
