Ophelia Sidmore, Co Editor-in-Chief & Photo Editor

Hi! I’m Ophelia Sidmore, and I’m a junior this year. I’m so excited to be a co editor-in-chief as well as the photo editor this year. I loved working on The Leaf last year and can’t wait for more fun this year! The Leaf has been such an amazing experience and opportunity for me, and I have loved every minute of it. I especially love getting to work with student writers and designers to create a magazine every month.

In my free time, I love reading, writing, and cooking. My favorite food is bagels, and my favorite movies are “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Pride and Prejudice” (the 2005 version). I also love the show “New Girl.” I love to hang out with my family and friends in my free time.
