Hadley Carr, News Editor

Hadley has spent the majority of her life trying to be funny, so now she has given up and decided to write for News. She still cracks herself up when she’s playing soccer, her other personality trait, of course. She also has a minor 508-day obsession with Duolingo and gee whiz! Isn’t that news (haha, get it?)
