Designer

Hey! I’m Lara Secl, I'm a sophomore at Kennedy High School and a graphic designer for Torch. I’m an artist and I have an ear for music. Outside of Torch I'm part of the drumline, play the flute and build robots. I hope to continue drawing for the Torch throughout my high school career. My favorite things to draw would be cartoons - I love cartoons and comics. Go Cougs!
