Hello, my name is Emerson and I’m a Junior at Bowie! This is my first year on the newspaper staff, though I've had experience with journalism through yearbook. Outside of newspaper I participate in clubs like, Society of Women Engineers, KEY club, debate club, banned book club and SOAR. I can't wait for the year to come as well as being a part of the Dispatch staff.
