Kasey Lambert, Q+A and A+E editor

Hi everyone! I am Kasey Lambert, the Q+A and A+E editor for the 2024-2025 school year. Last year, I was a reporter and I am so excited to take on this new role. I play field hockey, lacrosse, and enjoy skiing in the winter. I enjoy listening to music and hanging out with my dog, George, as well as my friends. My goal is to bring an open-minded perspective into each piece in the upcoming Saga. I want everybody to feel like they have a voice, and I hope to give everybody an opportunity to share it. As an editor, I want to spread empathy and mindfulness throughout East Lyme to help make our school and community a better place. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas or article suggestions!
