Anabel Bradley, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Anabel Bradley and I am a junior at Kennedy High School. This is my third year in Torch. I run track and cross country for Kennedy. In my freetime I enjoy reading, writing, and painting. I love jamming out to music and watching Disney movies with my cats. I can’t wait to write and take photos for Torch.
