Joining this year’s Journalism brigade is Senior Mara Walker on the social media team. Her laid back vibe belies a deep passion for competitive swim that she’s been nurturing since age four. Walker has adapted to do her best work under heavy pressure and draws on this talent in her work in journalism. She also attributes a part of her motivation to her interest in seeing deeper into UHigh. “Honestly, I didn’t really know what the journalism class was gonna be like before I took it,” Walker said. But after seeing, “how [the stories] go in depth about something that you wouldn’t really necessarily know about otherwise,” she’s found a stronger interest in Journalism and strives to do her best work for the Clarionette.
