Claire Meyer, Editor-in-Chief

Hi there! My name is Claire Meyer. I am a senior, making this my third year on staff and first as editor-in-chief. When I'm not editing stories in the newsroom, I can be found working at United. In my free time,  I enjoy both drawing and writing fiction short stories, which is where my true passion lies. I like watching 80s movies, listening to music, and reading books that keep me up at night. I'm hoping to major in journalism in college and I'm very excited to see what the future holds.
