Elizabeth Moore, Deputy Opinion Editor

Elizabeth Moore is a junior joining the newspaper this semester for the first time as a Deputy Opinion Editor. She is a student in the College of Arts and Science studying Broadcast Journalism, Politics and the art of being a lowly intern. As a Lawn Guyland native, she enjoys long trips on the LIRR that end at the beach or with bagels. In her free time she can be found sighing loudly and hunched over a laptop, two things of which her mother does not approve. She also likes strong coffee, cool music and lots of food. See? She’s totally approachable and vaguely just like you.
