Emily Sandy, Student Section Editor

Hi! My name is Emily Sandy and I am so excited for my 2nd year on the HiLite staff. This year, I am the Student Section editor as well as a graphics artist and photographer. While I'm not working on my spreads, you can typically find me singing in choir, biking, eating some sort of noodle, working as a receptionist at a hair salon, or spending time with friends and family. Look to the right for all of my past work ;)
