I’ve always had a passion for writing so when I took Intro to Pub, It sparked a need to continue further. I decided to take yearbook and newspaper to spread my passion to the public. Other than writing, I also enjoy drawing, gaming, theater, and fashion. I participate in games club, drama club, and Friends of Rachel. With my addition to staff this year I hope to spread more creativity and joy.
