Sophie Le , a senior and third-year staffer, is thrilled to be serving as Co-Editor-in-Chief this year.
“This is my third year on staff, my first year as Co-Editor-in-Chief,” she shared. “Last year I started out as Opinion Editor, and yeah, this is my senior year.”
Sophie is especially excited about the opportunities ahead.
“I’m so excited, especially in newspaper, to gain more leadership, create a better community, and also just try things I’ve never tried in the years past.”
Outside of journalism, Sophie is a passionate tennis player.
“This is my fourth year on varsity tennis and my third year as captain,” she said proudly. While she doesn’t plan to play competitively in college, she adds, “I’ll probably just play for fun, maybe do like some club.”
When she’s not leading a newsroom or dominating the court, Sophie finds inspiration in music.
“My favorite artist is Lana Del Rey, she’s like my all-time favorite artist,” she said, adding that her current favorite song is “Thunder.”
Right now, Sophie is also tackling the college application process head-on.
“My goal is to survive college app season,” she admitted. “I just started opening Common App and I’m just really hoping to relax and let things flow.”
She has her eyes set on the University of Florida, where she hopes to “major in public health.”
As she heads into her final year, Sophie’s focus is clear: “To lead with purpose, survive the Common App, and make the most of every moment.”
