Jazmine Coto has been apart of the Quest News staff for two years and has been promoted to Managing Editor during the 2021-2022 school year. She enjoys telling the stories of those who want their voices heard, and expresses their beliefs or opinions through news or feature stories. Her biggest drive has been reaching the end result, and witnessing the pride of students or teachers who are proud to have a story written about their experiences. Jazmine’s goal has been to find stories of people who do not get much recognition, and bring attention and awareness to those programs and individuals. Quest News has given Jazmine a platform to grow her passion in writing while exploring the wonders of story telling by acting as a bridge between the media and Don Lugo High School.
