I am a sophomore. This is my second year on the incredible staff of The Leaf, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Aside from journalism, my hobbies include playing the violin and spending inappropriate amounts of time on Netflix. I have a passion for all musicals, but my long-time favorite is “Les Misérables.” I also have a love unrivaled by anyone I know for the book and anything Victor Hugo has ever said. Classics are my favorite type of literature, but my favorite (living) author is John Green because he has the ability to say the most profound and hilarious things in one single page. I also have interests and dabble in the worlds of fashion and makeup. I will never forget the joy of little freshman Emily seeing her first article published in The Leaf, and I look forward to the same feeling of joy in future issues.
