Hi, I'm Allyson! I'm a senior this year and I am the In-Depth editor. I started writing for Spectrum two years ago and joined the editorial team last year. My favorite part about Spectrum is the amazing community and meeting new people. I love sushi, playing sports, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
