Meet the Editors

Eleanora Mason is covering Austin cuisine for our magazine. Her crowning achievement in Ezine is the newfound ability to finish all of her biology homework within the class period! She cannot play Tetris, especially when compared to Benjamin and Gabe. She’s passionate about food and how it can bring people together, and interested in diving deep into the culture of Austin and how it has shaped the restaurants here. Outside of the magazine, she loves to play classical guitar and run. In the future, she wants to go to medical school to become a dermatologist.

Benjamin Grubert a writer covering Austin’s Parks for the ATX Compass. He’s written his feature story on a guide to these parks, and their importance. He enjoys piano, coding, Tetris, and procrastination. He has beaten Gabe at Tetris which is very impressive. For the future, he hopes that he finishes his part of the Ezine (Hopefully he has if you’re reading this).

Isaac Braman-Ray is a writer for the ATX Compass and hates writing in 3rd person. He’s managed to take a nap in Ezine class and has contributed the seventy-four stories about outdoor activities to the Ezine. (Tetris skills??) In the future, he hopes to pass Ezine without finishing his story and ASF. Also, he thinks Mr. Garcia wants the Tetris join code. In his freetime, he procrastinates doing homework, so his freetime isn’t really freetime.

Gabe Tao is a freshman at LASA high school and is the graphics editor on the ATX Compass team. His article covers Austin’s growing tech community and the story of how Austin became a global technology hub. Some of his hobbies include playing Russian piano pieces, ultimate frisbee, and robotics. He is probably the best Tetris player in the team but refuses to admit it. Gabe would like to publicly announce that Jeffmey was not his idea.
