Zoey Ueland, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Hi, my name is Zoey and I am a Junior this year. I currently serve as the Student Spotlight editor for Spectrum and I am also a Co-Editor-in-Chief. Last year I was the student-news editor but I dabbled with other pages. Throughout my 2 years involved with Spectrum, having written since Freshman year, I have enjoyed hearing from a wide array of voices, learning about different perspectives around Blake, and working collaboratively alongside my peers. Outside of the newsroom you can find me reading, hanging out with my friends, exploring Minneapolis and swimming!
