Paulina Arana, a current senior, has done a lot during her last 3 years involved in this radio program. Her most highlighted achievement was her previous show, Mood Swings, winning a national title for Best Morning Show and a state title for Best Radio Show. Hosted along her co-host Olivia Grimes, Mood Swings consisted of having different moods each week in which the girls played songs that went along with that mood. They also shared some stories that correlated with the mood and advice from their own experiences. Mood Swings was also a major contributor to the Rileython Fundraiser that the station hosts raising money for Riley Children's Hospital. She also brought her culture into the station by hosting a show all in Spanish in honor of Hispanic Heritage month alongside current senior, Leanna Romero, and some of the members from the Latinex Student Alliance club at CHS. This show called En Vivo won runner up for a national award for Best Foreign Language Program. Additionally, Arana has recently gotten the position of events manager and will be coordinating all of the major events as she heads into her senior year alongside senior Hudson Kirsh. She will be navigating what the future holds as her previous co-host, Olivia Grimes, has graduated and the time of Mood Swings has come to an end. Stay tuned to see what this talented radio host does next within the station!
