At the end of my junior year, I had the privilege of being selected as one of two Co-Managing Editors through a peer-reviewed, faculty-approved application and interview process. Working just below the Editor-in-Chief, our team published the final issue of the 2025-2026 school year (and the first issue of Volume CI) in May.

Spending hours each week in the Scroll room, tucked into the basement the Kendall, has shown me what running a newspaper really means—from brainstorming articles and liaising with admins to laying out all 18 pages and refining the smallest details in InDesign. To me, it is about telling truthful stories, sharing unheard voices, and building communities. As part of this mission, I helped overhaul our previously neglected website, reorganizing and updating it into a much stronger digital home for the paper as the Scroll entered its second century.

Seeing each issue grow from ideas on a spreadsheet into boxes of physical copies and a lasting digital record of Deerfield life has been surreal. I'm excited to keep building on this work in the year ahead, ensuring that each article stays rigorous, thoughtful, and true to its journalistic purpose while still engaging with conversations that matter across campus.
