Hi readers! I’m a senior at BVH and going into my fourth and final year in the Crusader. I’ve enjoyed the past three years of being on staff and while distance learning was a difficult obstacle, I’m excited to get back to producing great work for my community. In the past, I’ve been the Copy Editor for Features and News, was bumped up to the News Section Editor my sophomore year, and last year I was the A&C Section Editor. This year I’m ecstatic to be coming back to my roots as News Sections Editor. Outside of the Crusader, I play club water polo and join in girls’ water polo at school when the season starts.
