The La Salle Falconer

Senior Bella Buss is in her fourth semester of journalism. She is a part of the girls tennis team and enjoys playing music and spending time with family outside of school. 

Before coming to La Salle, Bella went to a small art school in downtown Portland, and to say the transition wasn’t easy would be an understatement. She struggled to find her footing, but now, in her second year at La Salle, she is truly loving the environment and community she has found here.

Her favorite hobbies include playing guitar, gaming, baking, digital art, and of course, writing. In fact, her passion for writing and literature is exactly what led Bella to The Falconer. 

Having struggled to find her voice in the community in the past, she is excited to be able to help further the hard work on The Falconer that so many students have put in before her. She is immensely grateful for the new opportunities she has been given.
