MEET THE STAFF OF "THE REPORT"

The editor for 2013-2014 is Kevin Mould (RPTA '14). After several years as a staff writer, this is Kevin's first year as editor. Thanks for stepping up, Kevin!
The staff writers for "The Report" are all new members, including Heidi Reighard (RPTA '14), Ari Kamp (RPTA '15), Alyssa Beatton (RPTA '16), & Anna Bach (RPTA '17). Read more about the staff.
Here's more about the staff:
Kevin Mould (RPTA '14), Editor 
After serving as a staff writer for three years, Mould is excited to step up into the position of editor for his last few quarters. A fourth year student from Mountain View, Mould is concentrating in Sport Management, which he hopes to use as the starting point for a successful sports marketing career. A lifelong fan of Bay Area sports, Mould is excited to be following his passion at Cal Poly.
Heidi Reighard (RPTA '14), Staff Writer
Reighard is a fourth year from Park City, Utah who is concentrating in Hospitality and Tourism Management. Growing up on the slopes, she hopes to work in the ski industry after graduation and create exciting experiences for others and influence an appreciation for the environment through recreation. Reighard has enjoyed living in San Luis Obispo and becoming fully engaged and inspired through the RPTA department and is excited to see what the next chapter in life will bring her!
Ari Kamp (RPTA ‘15), Staff Writer
Kamp is a Montana native, born and raised in the town of Bozeman, which she likens to San Luis Obispo. She grew up with a strong outdoor presence in her life that has influenced her decision to be involved with RPTA with an Outdoor Adventure emphasis. She hopes to work with others to generate rewarding experiences in an outdoor setting while also having a positive effect on the environment. She is most in her element when she is on or by the water and can take part in physically engaging and fun activities such as paddle boarding and hiking. As a transfer student from Santa Barbara City College, Kamp is excited to make the most of her next two years at Cal Poly and take advantage of everything RPTA has to offer! See her feature in the Winter 2014 edition of "The Report!"
Alyssa Beatton (RPTA ‘16), Staff Writer 
A second year student at Cal Poly, Beatton is eager and excited to be writing for The Report this year. Beatton grew up in Santa Cruz, CA, where she developed a love for the ocean, beach volleyball, and San Francisco Giants baseball. With a concentration in Sport Management, she hopes to someday work for a major league baseball team. She took a stride towards that goal by serving as a Junior Giants Ambassador in the summer of 2013. Beatton is happy to be a part of an RPTA family filled with great people and exciting opportunities.
Anna Bach (RPTA ’17), Staff Writer
As a first year student at Cal Poly, Bach is excited for the opportunity to be on staff for The Report as a way to learn more about RPTA in a unique way. Bach grew up in Folsom, CA and recently moved to Orange County. She loves the beach, spending time with friends and family, and all things Disney. Bach hopes to pursue a career in special events planning, and is excited for the many opportunities RPTA is likely to provide.
