Willow Wooldridge

Willow Wooldridge, Editor-in-Chief

Willow Wooldridge is a junior, and this is her second year on staff. Her favorite subjects are English and Science. She's been interested in writing since middle school. She became interested in journalism in 8th grade when she saw the Talon's publications and knew that it was something she wanted to do. She enjoys writing and hopes to be a voice for those who don't have the resources. In the future, she wants to go to one of her dream schools and major in journalism. After college, she plans to pursue journalism as a career.
