Hey Wildcats! My name is Tia Hunt, and I am super excited to be a part of the newspaper staff as the web design editor this year. Other than newspaper, I am involved with Millbrook's gymnastics team, dance team, and technical theater crew for set. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching Netflix, and finding new music to listen to. If you have any ideas for the newspaper, feel free to reach out to me. You can usually find me studying or doing an after-school extracurricular. I really hope you enjoy the Cat Talk!
