NB Bandera, Entertainment Editor

NB Bandera is a senior at DGS and a second-year staff member in Blueprint. Bandera was a Video Editor her first year, and now she is an Entertainment Editor.

Other than Blueprint, Bandera participates in girl’s varsity badminton and directed a IHSA film in a competition of 2023 for the state of Illinois to represent DGS with other directors that noticed her filmmaking.

As a determined student and athlete, Bandera aspires to be a detective because of her interest in criminal justice in college. She loves learning about the psychological side of true crime and diving deep into cases, showing her critical thinking.
