Victoria Bravo, Editor-in-Chief

Hi there! My name is Victoria Bravo, I am an Editor-in-Chief, I love hiking, and I hate ham. I oversee our writing department and I supervise all articles produced and published on our website.  This is my fourth year on staff and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have grown alongside the program. I am currently a senior  and have loved every year in this program!  I am beyond excited to lead this program through the 2021-2022 year and look forward to producing great articles.
