Joined WSN: Started as a staff writer for WSN’s culture desk in fall 2019.

Fun Fact: I once got 1,000 likes on one of my memes on the NYU Memes for Slightly Bankrupt Teens page (I know, that’s a second accomplishment disguised as something fun).

Accomplishments: Having a play performed at a professional festival, directing two short films, surviving New York Fashion Week, running a New York scavenger hunt, overseeing a copy editing communion, defeating a chess master in tennis, getting cast in a meatball-themed musical, running a school satire page, and discovering that the real treasure was the friends we made along the way.
Fun Fact: Pickle serving sizes are measured in thirds of a pickle when it comes to nutritional information on the packaging. This is transparently manipulative and a clear profit grab by Big Pickle; as educated participants in a democracy, it is our civic duty to strongly oppose such wholesale corporate greed.
