Class of 2024 Besides an obvious passion for writing and design that drive my work on the yearbook, what I adore most about my role on Student Press is the wonderful community of talented and hardworking people that I get to collaborate with and learn from. Aside from my life in the newsroom, my passions drift more towards movies, poetry, and music, particularly piano. You can often find me sorting through an obsessive sticker collection or rewatching any and every Studio Ghibli film.
