Allison Cassell, Contributing Writer

Hi, I’m Allison! I’m a senior and this is my first year on the PLD Lamplighter staff. I have always loved writing since I was in elementary school. This year, I wanted to become even more involved in my school, and writing journalism for Dunbar has allowed me to do that! 

In addition to writing for Lamplighter, I’m also involved in eight other clubs at Dunbar. I also love exercising, whether it’s swimming for Dunbar’s varsity swim team or lifting weights on my own. If I’m not in school or exercising, I’m either reading, spending time with friends and family, or watching TV. 

I can’t wait to produce great content with this year’s staff!
