Roxanne Eguia

Roxanne Eguia, Roxy for short, is a 17-year-old graduate of Stevens High School with a heart of gold.

After her sophomore year, Roxy found an interest in film, making one called "Graveyard Queen," about a zombie dating show in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. The film shows one side of her unique personality and another side of her is seeing the good in everyone she meets.

"I see qualities in people that I really want to see in myself," Eguia said.

Eguia said she applies the cultural influence from those she encounters to her life. As a child, her parents influenced her entertainment interests.

"When I was younger, my parents listened to a lot of metal so I grew up surrounded by it." Her first concert, at the age of 7, was at Sunken Gardens with Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche and Rob Halford.

This music also has swayed her mind about her dream job. Eguia said she would like to write for Rolling Stone magazine after she attends Texas Christian University.

"It would be awesome to be able to interview people whose lives are drenched in music," she said.
