Brooke Abell

Brooke Abell, Writing Editor In Chief

My name is Brooke and this is my 4th year on staff. I am one of the writing editors in chief this year.

Ever since my freshman year in the program, I aspired to be on the editorial board and be in a position to help others. I have always loved writing stories and making my characters come to life since I was a kid and now I get to write about real events and people. In my free time, I like to run, hang out with my friends, and watch movies. My vision for the year is to teach and mentor our staff to produce high-quality articles that we are passionate about. I can’t wait for a great year! Go bulldogs!
