About the Contributors
Laura Ridoux, CavsConnect Co-Editor-in-Chief
Laura Ridoux is a senior in the International Baccalaureate program. This is her third year in CavsConnect and she is very excited to return as co-editor-in-chief to lead her staff into her last year of high school, with plans to make it the most memorable one yet. At Coral Gables Senior High, Laura is quite involved, being on the board of multiple clubs including the International Baccalaureate Honor Society, National Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America, while serving as Treasurer for the Class of 2024. She never backs down from a challenge and is always looking to learn something new. Outside of school, Laura loves to travel, meet people from different backgrounds and take pictures with her Canon EOS Rebel T7. Overall, she is thrilled for this upcoming year and cannot wait to see what lies ahead for her.
Angelina Morffi, CavsConnect Co-Editor-in-Chief
As she approaches her fourth year at Gables, Angelina Morffi is determined to save the best for last. Juggling many responsibilities, she is proudly CavsConnect's Editor-in-Chief, Academy of Finance's President, Future Business Leaders of America's Vice-President (Marketing), Student Council Treasurer and lastly Health Information Project Peer Health Educator. Spotted at every field trip, every pep rally and every game under the Friday night lights, she bleeds crimson and gray.
Outside of school, she works as a camp counselor during the after school and summer program at West End Park, the same camp she attended as a young girl. Teaching eight-year-olds simple mathematics and tying every loose shoe lace, Angie treasures their silly jokes and do-it-yourself stationaries.
Despite her busy schedule, Angie always has time for nice dinners at the Grove, drives through the Rickenbacker Causeway, and ice cream trips to Chill-N.
Though her future is uncertain, Angie knows her passion lies in serving and uplifting others. Hoping to study communications then go to law school, Angie has big dreams, ones that she cannot share just up until the moment in which they happen. It is the same principle in sharing your wish after blowing out a candle. How can it come true after that? Regardless of what may happen, whether blowing out the candles worked, she will always carry determination and love with her on every adventure.
