Eirene Park is a senior and is a third year member on The Sidekick. She is excited to take on her future photography role with a hint of design. She came to Coppell, Texas in her freshman year of high school and decided to join this program because of her cousin. In her free time, she enjoys blasting music when she is drawing, driving and watching K-dramas. Some of her favorite K-dramas are Twinkling Watermelon, Welcome to Samdal-ri and Go Back Couple.

Prathi Tamara Sathish Kumar
Prathi Tamara Sathish Kumar, Staff Writer
Prathi Tamara Sathish Kumar is a Junior and a second year staff writer for The Sidekick. After reading the print editions of The Sidekick her freshman year, Prathi discovered an interest in being the one to weave those stories. A lifelong lover of words, she started off believing she would only be a writer; however, Prathi is now very fascinated with design, podcasts and multimedia. She loves to use different varieties of storytelling as new and exciting ways to convey information and emotion. When she’s not writing songs and stories, you can find her reading and watching rom-coms bursting with clichés or listening to a playlist full of music that would get her labeled a “basic” pop princess (with artists including Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter and more). You can contact Prathi at [email protected] or on Instagram (@Prathi_Sathish).
