I am a freshman, first year of the Leaf staff. In the future I want to work in entertainment as either an actress, director, or a play/screenwriter. Investigative journalism is also an option I would like to explore and the reason as to why I joined the Leaf, to learn the fundamentals of journalism. Outside of school hours I am a part of SHS theatre program, as well as a cheerleader for Queen City Storm.
