Vincent Kamark, Staff Reporter

My name is Vincent Kamark. I am a staff reporter here on PLD Lamplighter. I take pride in some of the articles I have written, mainly the Nuclear Energy a feature article I wrote last year. I currently want to major in Nuclear Engineering when I go to college, but I’ve been torn on many different majors before. I like reading, music, and video games in my free time.  I hope my work will shine just like my articles from last year.
