Emily Strenski, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Emily, and this is my second year as Editor-in-Chief of the Cats Claw, and my fourth year on staff. I'm involved in journalism and band, and love to write and read and watch movies and tv shows constantly! Yellow is my favorite color, the sunflower is my favorite flower, and cats are my favorite animal! :)
