Betsy Fries, Creative Director | Photography Editor
Hey there, I'm Betsy! I'm a Junior, and I am the Creative Director. My freshman year I started as a staff photographer and I wrote a couple articles. I loved seeing the end result of the final paper and wanted to contribute more to the process. Last year I edited Features and was the Photography Editor. This past semester, I was just the Photography Editor. Now I'm Creative Director and Photography Editor. I also edited Food Features for a short amount of time this semester. Catch me on the slopes in the winter, and on the lake in the summer!
