Victoria Bravo, Chief Copy Editor

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria Bravo and I am this year’s Chief Copyeditor! I am currently a Junior and this will be my third year on staff. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had a fantastic few years on staff as a general reporter and I cannot wait to see what this year brings. I hope to produce great content for Lamplighter and to have an impact on people through my writing.
