Jenna Anderson, Co Editor-in-Chief

My name is Jenna Anderson, I am a senior and this is my fourth year in Torch. I have an older sister who goes to the University of Iowa, who encouraged me to be a part of journalism at Kennedy. I play both school and club volleyball, which keeps me busy year-round. Some of my other hobbies include cooking/baking, tennis, and piano. My favorite stories to write are profiles, opinion pieces, and news stories. I've had a great experience writing and designing pages for Torch, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for our publication. I started out as a writer, then became opinion editor my sophomore year, last year I was Co Editor-in-Chief and I am the Editor-in-Chief this year .
