Jackie Phillips, Assistant News Editor

I discovered my love for journalism when taking a class in high school on a complete whim. I learned that I had a passion for writing and designing and am so excited to have the opportunity to continue with that passion. In the spare time that I have I’m typically reading or designing my own pieces of art and occasionally having a private concert for just me in my room.
