Hey! My name is Brooklyn Pernell, and I am a junior. This is my first year on newspaper staff and my second year on yearbook staff. I am so excited to cram as much journalism into my life as possible, filling my life with stories, captions, and photos. When I’m not working in the newsroom, you can usually find me writing short stories, hiking at sunset, exploring old alleys or dancing in 3 a.m rain. My future aspirations are to be a lawyer and author, or more realistically, a scuba diver. I am so thankful to be working alongside this amazing staff to bring the stories of our school to life. Thanks for reading!
