Hey! My name is Emma Eischeid, and this year I’m a senior. I took Intro to Journalism freshman year, and this year will be my third full year writing for the Ruff Draft staff as a staff writer. This year I’ll also be helping out with the videography department! I love being on the newspaper staff as it gives me opportunities I wouldn’t normally find elsewhere. In my free time, I love to drive my Jeep, hang out with my friends and spend time outdoors.
