Anna Wegener, trends editor
Hi! My name is Anna Wegener and I am a junior at SHS. This is my second year at The Leaf and I am very excited to be the Trends section editor, which means I oversee all the writing and design components that go into the Trends section! I am thrilled to be a part of the collaborative, behind-the-scenes work it takes to produce a news magazine. While I have always been interested in writing, I had never gotten a chance to freely and independently write without all the irritating rubrics – until I joined journalism!
Besides journalism, I run cross country, and winter and spring track! I’ve run cross-country and track since 7th grade, and honestly, it is my favorite part of the day. One of my favorite parts of running is the adrenaline rush that comes from racing alongside my friends on a crisp morning (preferably on the trails of the Cincinnati Nature Center).
When I’m not running, I like to read (anything!) and spend time with my dog Winnie (lots of walks and tennis ball hunts). I am also always down for binge-watching “Airplane Repo” and taking a good nap on a rainy day. In addition, one of my latest hobbies has been early morning bike rides with my dad to try all the Cincinnati doughnut bakeries. As of this year, I’d recommend the seasonal hot chocolate or year-round buckeye doughnuts at Holtman’s. One other essential fact about me – my favorite food is lasagna soup.
Journalism is one of my favorite classes of the day and I would encourage you to join it next year! It is quite literally the best group project you will ever have!
