Amelia Gutierrez, a Journalism major from Clewiston, Fla., looks forward to a great year as managing editor for the award winning Stallion newspaper.                
    “I love having the opportunity to have intellectual conversation with my professors,” Gutierrez said when asked of her favorite thing at ABAC. “There is nothing better than having a conversation with an educator who is an expert on the subject, and I just do not feel I would have had this opportunity at the university level.”                
   Gutierrez enjoyed her term as news editor for the Stallion last year, and has returned to be the managing editor for the 2009 school year. In addition to her work with the newspaper she plays for the Fillies tennis team while keeping up her studies as a member of the Honors Program.   
   “Working with The Stallion has assured me that this is the career path I want to follow,” Gutierrez said.                
   She plans to finish her studies at ABAC, and then pursue a bachelor’s degree in Journalism at a university.
   Gutierrez’s favorite quote is “Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong” by Ella Fitzgerald.
