Eros Vinnecey, CavsTV Staff
Eros is a junior in the Academy of Finance, he is on the board of FBLA and very
invested in finance. He was inspired to join CavsTV after living deep in nature since his early
childhood and eventually developing a strong passion towards videography. Eros loves to
meet new people and claims it is always fascinating to hear and learn about one’s life. He loves to
travel and while the amazing beaches at Miami are nice, he will be living in Europe in the
next following years to finally experience some cold weather… and meet new people of
course!
Santiago Rodriguez, CavsConnect Staff Writer
Santiago Rodriguez is a current sophomore entering his second year in the International Baccalaureate program here at Coral Gables Senior High. He hopes to pursue his interest in running through the Cross Country and Track and Field team for his second year. Despite his love for running, his biggest opponents are mosquitos. If you find him outdoors, bug spray is his best friend. He has big hopes for his future in Gables such as joining the National Honor Society and possibly becoming Editor in Chief of CavsConnect. His favorite seasons are summer and fall for the many reasons of sports, weather and vacation. Wanting to continue to be a above average student, Santiago works harder, taking multiple Advanced Placement classes during high school. Hoping he has a great year at Gables, he is eager to be working in CavsConnect.
