Hi, I’m Emily! I am a senior who enjoys writing, reading, watching Netflix, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. I also enjoy singing, playing piano and guitar, and sketching. At school I’m involved in LINK Crew, the choir program (A Capella), the tennis team, AAVO (leader), Spanish Honor Society (treasurer), National Honor Society (officer), and Montage (vocal director). I have a brother who’s a freshman, a dog named Elke (a German Wirehair Pointer), and my family owns five pack llamas that serve as a sort of backcountry business.  I am excited to be a part of Journalism again, but this time as one of the Copy Editors, while also writing for a new lifestyle column (previously fashion) for the 2015-2016 school year. I look forward to the new changes we’ll have this year, but also the continuation of our tradition. Now go out and read some articles!
