Maddie Howard, Sports Editor

Maddie Howard is a Chicago native and sophomore student double majoring in Journalism and English. She’s also the Sports Editor this semester, which is fitting because she is a player on the NYU women’s soccer team. Go Violets!

If you’re interested in a lot of feminist propaganda and self-promotion, follow her on twitter. (@maddiehoward34)
