When I met with my counselor at the end of my freshman year and signed up for a spot on the newspaper staff, I didn't expect to end up loving the reporting process so much. What was a small interest in reading and writing became a passion, filled with late after-school sessions editing stories or all-nighter's writing my next big feature story. Now, as an editor, I hope to become even more involved with the process, mentoring other developing writers and helping to create a product that the entire community will anticipate each month.

Although feature stories make up the majority of my work in the Prowler, I occasionally write editorials, but still have a long way to go with news stories. I am most usually found in the Academics, Clubs or Opinions sections, covering intriguing class projects or the obscure (but enjoyable) clubs on campus and the people behind them. As for the Opinions section, the subjects are always different.
