Hey, Cat Talk reader! My name is Hannah Hortman, and this will be my third year on staff. As Editor-in-Chief, I am eager to enhance our school newspaper as the world of media changes before our eyes. I am a senior in the IB Diploma Program who loves to learn about foreign cultures. Around Millbrook, you might find me working with my fellow officers for Senior Class Council or collaborating with my Psychology Club Co-President. Outside of school, I enjoy figure skating, volunteering at Note in the Pocket, and going on foodie adventures with my friends! Thanks for checking out my articles, and happy reading :))
