Hi! I am a senior and a Co-Sports Editor for the Ghostwriter! I’ve always loved watching sports as well as playing them. I’ve been dancing since age 2 and have enjoyed getting to know and bond with everyone throughout the years. When I’m not playing sports, I’m listening to music, writing about things that inspire me, hanging out with my friends, and taking sunset pictures when I am able to. I am looking forward to spending my senior year with everyone on the Ghostwriter!
