Editor in Chief
2014 - 2016
​I was appointed a Coeditor in Chief of the 2014-2015 yearbook staff and eventually took the position of head editor. I am taking on the role again for the 2015-2016 school year as I finish out my senior year of high school. I will be helping a staff of ten and am looking to see that this is one of the strongest staffs I've been a part of.

Education
Elm Grove Elementary
2002 - 2009
I remember when I was in kindergarden I wrote and illustrated a little story about a cat in magenta Crayon. There was a comment card where people could leave little notes about your story. Someone wrote "boo!" as in "hey, this sucks". It made me a little sad. But then in fourth grade I had a teacher who really encouraged creative writing and really getting your creative juices flowing. I had always liked to write, but I think that's when I really decided "hey, this is what I like and this is something I want to do".

I took art as my elective sixth grade year. "Art" meant one semester of actual art class and the other semester of theater art. I really only took art for the art. I don't know what I thought I was going to get out of theater, because I'm not the most theatrical person...
Seventh grade I decided to take journalism because journalism was only offered to seventh and eigth graders. I was on the newspaper staff and we wrote articles over different students, events, and even got to write how-to's. It was printed on regular printer paper in black and white and I'm pretty sure that it was stapled in the top left hand corner like a normal stapled set of papers. At the end of my seventh grade year I applied for the yearbook staff which was only available for the top dogs, the eigth graders. I made it onto the staff and became one of the teachers best students. I had a lot of fun with the middle school yearbook, especially because it had more freedom to get out of class and to take pictures of your friends and what was going on around school.

2012 - 2016
I knew right away that my electives were going to be golf and journalism. I had to take journalism as a prerequisite to be in yearbook because I could not be in yearbook freshman year. I enjoyed journalism and learned a lot about news writing and reporting. Sophomore year, after another yearbook staff application, I was on the staff. I worked with seven seniors and two other sophomores. It was a staff of all girls and while it was fun, it was difficult. Having an old staff meant that after the new year rolled around, the underclassmen had to step up to work hard because that's when senioritis really hit the seniors. I didn't mind. I had one other staffer who was willing to help me and not mess around. We finished the book and it was successful. Junior year we had a new adviser come in, and I think that was one of the best things that could have happened. My other coeditor stepped down leaving me in charge of a young staff of eight. We did have one boy, and he kept everyone happy and entertained. We had trouble in the start because we didn't necessarily have everything together, but we got the book done on time (somehow!) and got a lot of compliments from people saying that this was one of the best books they had throughout their high school career. That was a big compliment to me, and I'm sure it was to the rest of the staff as well. I am looking forward to one more year on the high school yearbook staff with friends and a staff who will help me make lifelong memories...literally.
