Hey guys! This is my first year on the Crusader as a senior as a Sports Copy Editor. I joined the newspaper because I wanted to join an extracurricular where I could express my writing and art skills! Outside of the newspaper, I am a member of Club Blue, serving as Front ensemble section leader and quartermaster. I am also on the varsity swim team, Secretary for SLOTH’s club and Co-President of the gardening club.
