About Us

Hey! My name is Josie Reich (she/her), I'm class of 2022, and I am a co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of The Pen. The pen in the picture is my favorite because my grandfather gave it to me (though admittedly I don't think I've ever used it). Outside of the club I enjoy a good book and political debate.

Hi! My name is Paola Milbank (she/her) and class of 2022. I'm a co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of The Pen! One reason I wanted to start this magazine was to let creative people have their work shown off! This is my favorite pen because I like how green it is and it writes very smoothly.

Hi! I'm Clara Shapiro Morton (she/her), I'm a junior, and I am the head layout editor of The Pen. My favorite pen is actually a pencil because I have had it since the beginning of sophomore year and I haven't lost it yet, which is unheard of for me.

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer Nehrer (she/her). I am a junior here at Walls and I joined The Pen because I love creative writing, photography, and all things art and literature! The pen I am holding is my favorite because it writes really smoothly and the ink is colored red - like my hair!

Hi, I'm Kamtoya Okeke (she/her). I'm in ninth grade and a layout designer in The Pen. I'm a part of The Pen because I love to writing, and other expressions of creativity. The pen I am holding is my favorite because it’s an erasable friction pen and it's purple.

Hi, I'm Teherama! This is my favorite pen at this point in my life because it got me through freshman year. Even though I’m holding it up right now, it’s empty! I used it for everything. I used it up so quickly, that by the end of the third quarter, I sadly had to move on. I love this pen and guess what: all the rest of my pens from freshman year are empty now too;)

Hi! My name is Katrina Tracy. I love all trying lots of art and new things. This is my favourite pen because I use it so much, but I aspire to buy a fancy fountain pen someday.

Hi! My name is Evie, I’m a junior and my pronouns are she/her. I’m a content editor for the Pen. This is my favorite pen because the ink is really dark and flows nicely.

My name is Isabel Duarte and I'm a junior at SWW. This pen is my favorite because my best friend, who lives in Vietnam, got it for me as a a gift. It writes really nicely and the paw shakes around if I write fast.

Hey! My name is Leah Levy (she/her) and I’m class of 2025. I am a content editor of The Pen and I joined because I like creative writing and reading all of the work that is sent in! This pen is one of my favorites because it is my favorite color and I have been using it for a long time.

I’m Sonja Talwani, I use any pronouns, and I’m part of the Class of 2025! I’m a content editor in the Pen. This is my favorite pen because the black ink is perfect for anything— writing, sketching, doodling!
