Vedanti Patil, News Editor

Class of 2027

I’m elated to serve as your News Editor this year! Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved news writing and photography, and I’m excited to further develop my skills this year and work with such an incredible lineup of reporters. Outside of journalism, you can find me doomscrolling on Instagram, sleeping, curating outfits in my digital Notion closet, creating Pinterest boards, binge-reading Webtoons, watching TV shows, or constantly listening to music. If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or my fellow editors!
