I’m a senior and this is my third year on staff with The Stampede Newspaper. I spent my first two years as a reporter, which I absolutely loved, and now I am an Editor-in-Chief. I love reading, gardening, playing with my pups, and volunteering locally. I spend lots of time outside; nature is my favorite place to be. I plan to go to college on the East Coast to study political science and journalism.
