Hello! My name is Sophia and I’m a junior at Bowie this year. This is my second year on staff and I will be one of the feature editors. Outside of newspaper I’m part of the spanish honors society, NHS, and a couple other clubs that I never attend too! I like to go to concerts with my friend and spend a lot of time at home attempting to bake. I’m super excited to see what kind of content we will produce and how we bond as a staff :)
