Haile Miller, Writer

Hi! My name’s Haile Miller and I'm a junior at Kennedy. This is my second year in Torch. Outside of Torch, I'm also involved in various activities including swimming and theater. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, watching movies and listening to music. I aim to improve my writing and photography skills.
