Zoe Smith, Editor-in-Chief

(she/her) Zoe Smith is a senior and entering her third and final year on staff. She is so excited to be this year’s Web Editor-in-Chief. Although you can usually find her in the newsroom; you may also find her on the soccer field either playing or coaching, working at Maggie’s Farm Pizza, hanging out with friends and much more. If you can’t find her she is probably petting a dog somewhere.
