Hi! I'm Emmalee Martyak, a freshman reporter for the Mountain Echo. For as long as I can remember, I've loved writing. Last year, I joined the Livewire staff, and, after falling in love with reporting, decided to join the staff this year. Besides writing, I also love music. I'll listen to just about anything, but my favorite artists are Conan Gray, Taylor Swift, Hozier and the Waterparks. I also love all kinds of movies, and some favorites are "Mean Girls," "Edward Scissorhands" and just about any Adam Sandler movie. Some of my other hobbies are painting, baking and reading.

Is AI better than a student reporter?

A balanced meal. Eating a balanced meal is important for the success of all students. A student eating the lunch on the right might feel energized and focused throughout the rest of their day, but a student eating the lunch on the left might feel tired, unfocused and unmotivated.
