Dear EL,

Hello 24-25 Saga readers, I am the Backpage-Editor, Social media-manager, and Web-Coordinator. This year I will focus on promoting journalism through social media while also creating fun and silly backpages. 

A little about me: I am the co-president and co-founder of the ELHS gardening club, I enjoy reading, singing, shopping, and art.

I am so excited to be able to participate and contribute to the Viking Saga newspaper spreading truth and joy.
