Michaela Boyd, Editor-In-Chief

Hello! My name is Michaela Boyd and I am a senior. This is my third and final year on the Southwest media team. I enjoy taking pictures of show choir and writing feature stories the most, although I enjoy just about everything. Outside of Mass Media, I am Troupe President for the Silver Hawk Theatre department, I work at a retirement home in town, and I enjoy being with my friends. Big fan of One Direction, ABBA, and the .07mm Papermate InkJoy pens.
