She has combined her love for reading and writing into her career aspirations, and her other passions include listening to Taylor Swift on repeat and dying her hair every four months.

Nora Kavanagh

Her main activities include simply hanging out with friends and procrastinating homework. Her favorite movies are the Godfather and Goodfellas and her favorite book is Uprising Margaret Peterson Haddix.

Nadine Samy

Social Media Manager

I'm a huge language lover and love to write. I lowkey fantasize about living in a classic novel (either that or about having the talent to write one myself). I love poetry like Emily Dickinson's and writers like Luis Borges, Virginia Woolf, and Jane Eyre. I'm especially drawn to feminist writing or female writers generally. Aside from that, I'm an avid music listener and have an aggressive obsession with ducks (whom I also happen to identify with on some level).

Anita Gulia

Associate Editor

Anita Gulia is an Italian-American student studying two languages she already knows how to speak. Although her dream of writing a Bon Jovi jukebox musical about karate has passed, her dream of becoming a high school English teacher is alive and well. From musical fairytale parodies to short songs about mundane tasks to slides presentations about William Shakespeare, she loves to create things that make people laugh. She hopes that this bio has achieved that purpose.

Mattigan DiBease

Flash Issues Editor 

I am a lover of all things blue, and I find comfort in rereading my favorite books rather than starting a new one. My dog, Leo, is my favorite thing in this world, but iced lattes from Starbucks are a close second. To get the best grasp of my personality, you need to know that my all-time favorite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and my all-time favorite movie is Dead Poets Society. I play soccer here at Catholic, but I also love to run!
