PLD Lamplighter’s been a part of my school life since freshman year– being a senior now, I’m looking forward to making this year the best! Though a lot of my time at home is spent coding or gaming, I spend a lot of time drawing too- a hobby I sometimes use for PLD Lamplighter! I’m a “Jack of All Trades,” I suppose- I’ve done plenty of things in the past year, like video editing, writing, and voiceover! I can’t wait to share my projects with my peers!
