Hi, I’m Madeleine. This is my third year on The Dispatch staff, I’ve also been on the Lone Star Yearbook staff for 4 years. I enjoy taking pictures and interacting with all the people we interview. I love being in both classes because I get to do most of the same things but go about different techniques. This is so I can further my photography, design, and people skills.
