Yumnah Shoaib

Yumnah Shoaib, Editor-in-Chief

My name is Yumnah Shoaib, I am a senior and this is my second year in journalism. My interest in journalism is largely due to its creative aspects. In my free time, I enjoy watching the sunset and drinking coffee. After graduation, I hope to attend a 4-year university to study political science, possibly with a focus on law. In addition to being the president of Chnge4Women at school, I am passionate about advocating for rights. As well as being a member of the varsity golf team and JV lacrosse team, I am also involved in the French Honors Society, FIDM club, and debate club.
