Khoury Williams, Senior Staff Writer, former EIC

Khoury Williams, 30, is a senior staff writer for The Union and Warrior Life Magazine. This is Khoury's sixth and final semester on staff. He is a journalism major who's enrolled in J9 and J7. Previously, Khoury was editor-in-chief for The Union from 2021 to 2023.

His main goal is to pass along his knowledge and expertise to the next generation of journalists as he prepares to transfer out. Khoury hopes that his time and experience with El Camino's journalism department will open up opportunities for a future career working as a multimedia and investigative journalist.
