Journalism and Writing

Writing

School Newspaper “The Circle Voice”

The Circle Voice (CV) forced me to expand my attention beyond myself and engage more with the Groton community. I started contributing articles to the Opinions piece and was eventually asked to become the Assistant Editor, I have loved magnifying the voices of our community and letting new angles and ideas circulate.

In senior year, I have combined the CV with my passion for data, rebuilding our website as it took center stage for COVID and writing data journalism articles analyzing school trends.
