I’m a senior and this is my third year with the Ghostwriter. Although I initially joined for the promise of improving my writing and communication skills, I stayed for the donuts during layout sessions and unfortunate sports photos. In my free time, I enjoy name-dropping the Velvet Revolution, asseverating my ardor for superfluously Brobdingnagian words, and being justly critical of Ad Astra. My biggest flex is my grandpa and my biggest mistake is a tie between giving College Board my email and allowing the paparazzi (Keertana) to photograph me. Contrary to what Keertana and Pravar believe, Inside Out is the best Disney-Pixar movie. Ask me about my tariff joke.
