Julian Perez is a 10th-grade reporter for RedGoldNews, contributing primarily through video recording and editing. Currently enrolled in Music Appreciation, Julian joined the staff to explore a new schedule and has since brought his photography skills to the team.

Outside the newsroom, Julian enjoys playing video games and has a unique flexibility trick—he can grab his face by wrapping his arm around the back of his head. His favorite foods include pizza and chicken tenders, and he's a fan of the anime Demon Slayer and music by Mili.

Looking ahead, Julian plans to pass college and pursue his dream job. He hopes that his experience with cameras and electronics in RedGoldNews will support him in reaching those goals.
