Hi, I’m Hailey and one of the Co-Editors this year. This is my fourth year on staff and I have loved every year since. I enjoy writing opinions and reviews on music (I’m very opinionated). In my free time, I spend my time planning outfits and shopping at Target. Outside of school, I write a lot so the Ruff Draft was a perfect fit for me. I am excited to perfect my writing skills and improve the Ruff Draft site.
