Currently serving his first year as a staff writer and the social media manager for West Signals, Eric Jerez is thrilled to share his voice—spotlighting meaningful topics that are often overlooked through his thoughtfully crafted writing. As a triplet, Eric has perfected the skill of arguing over who’s the ‘original copy’; it’s also where he developed his passion for argumentative writing. He plays clarinet in the West High Marching Band and enjoys volleyball, along with spending time with his friends whenever he can. With that being said, this year Eric is taking on the challenge of running both a half marathon and a full marathon; he’ll be side by side with his best friend of nine years, Esha Chethikattil. Eric is enthusiastic towards serving his community and advocating for others through leadership programs like The ATTIC Advisory Committee, the California Association of Student Councils Government Affairs and Policy Committee, and many more.
