Hey everyone! My name is Charlie, I'm a sophomore and Associate Editor of the Mountain Echo. I was on the Livewire staff in Jr High and took the Intro to Pub class last year. I have had a passion for writing since 4th grade and even promised my 4th grade ELA teacher that I would publish a book some day. My main goals in life are to go to med school and become a pediatric surgeon. Whenever I am not at school, I enjoy watching Netflix, reading and hanging out with my boyfriend. I'm super excited to write stories to keep you guys updated on everything going on here at our school!
