About the Contributors
Noemi Lozano, Copy Editor
Senior Noemi Lozano will be part of The Downey Legend for her second year as copy editor by taking on the responsibility of making important documents needed to have a successful deadline. She first heard about The Downey Legend from a photographer her sophomore year and joined her junior year where it really helped her become more social. “Freshmen year I was really shy and now I can’t stop talking,” Lozano said. She is a big people person but one of her biggest pet peeves is when people say her name wrong or mistakenly call her Naomi.
One of Lozano’s favorite shows is Orange is the New Black. During her free time she listens to her favorite artist Kid Cudi .One of Lozano’s goals is to move to San Francisco. “I just want to get away from here and explore,” Lozano said. Another goal of hers would be working with kids, because she wants to follow in her older sisters’ footsteps: one is 25 years old and teaches children with special needs, and the other is a 28 years old speech therapist.

Juan Munguia, Photographer
Juan Munguia, a 17-year-old social butterfly, is one of the new photographers to join The Downey Legend. Munguia took this opportunity to improve his skills as a photographer and is striving to show people things they have never seen before. He aims to start shooting some behind the scenes material this year. Although he describes photography as a “cool little hobby,” he has made it his personal mission to make sure every photo he takes is close to perfect.
Not only is Munguia a photographer, he is a food fanatic and a dog lover. When he isn’t snapping pictures of his husky, Mishka, or chowing down on pastrami fries from The Hat, he is spending quality time with friends or playing basketball. Munguia’s friends would describe him as an outgoing guy who would do anything for others. He isn’t afraid of making new friends and stepping outside of his comfort zone. He plans on spending two years at Cerritos College and then hopes to join the fire academy. “Being able to help someone is amazing,” Munguia said “but being able to save their life is even better.” He hopes to accomplish his lifelong goal of becoming a firefighter in the next 10 years.
