Hey! I’m a senior and this will be my third and sadly final year on staff. I am currently one of the three editors-in-chief and the senior drum major for the band. I’m a true coffee addict who loves all the pups. In the rare situation I’m not on the band field or in the news room, I love to bake, paint, knit and spend time with my close friends. I have a passion for photography and can’t wait to share my pictures with our readers. I’m excited to see what this last year has to offer.
