Jess Johnson
Hi! I’m Jess and I am a sophomore double majoring in multimedia journalism and TV/video production. I am from Albany, New York, and have been a part of the Cardinal Points team since last semester. After being an associate news editor, I am excited to take on the role of opinions editor this semester, as well as learn more about our campus community. I am currently a member of Theta Alpha Lambda, and I look forward to experiencing new places and people. This year I plan on traveling to Santorini, Greece, and documenting the entire experience to create a film. I also plan on studying abroad in London, England my senior year. When I’m not traveling, I enjoy photography, film, writing, reading and watching TikTok in my freetime. Remember, everyone’s voice and opinion matters, and I can’t wait to hear all of yours.

Sareem Jabbar
Hi! I’m Sareem, the graphics and multimedia editor for Cardinal Points from Long Island, New York. I started as a staff member for one semester and then became an editor, with this being my second semester in the position. Being a part of this team has been one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had! It’s so fresh to always think outside the box and push my creativity. Here at SUNY Plattsburgh, I’m a studio art major with a double concentration in graphic design and photography. I love making art, playing and performing music and eating Cheez-Its (specifically the sharp white cheddar grooves kind.) Keep an eye out for all my pop culture and music references in my art. I can’t wait to share the coverage with fun art and videos!
