Hailey Paddock, Staff Writer

Hi, I’m Hailey Paddock, and this is my third year writing for the Ruff Draft. Writing for the online paper has become a favorite hobby of mine. My favorite types of articles to write are opinions or reviews (I’m a very opinionated person). Outside of school I spend a lot of time style/fashion planning and playing guitar. Writing has always been something I took an interest in outside of school, so when I got the opportunity to Ruff Draft I was ecstatic. I have enjoyed the past three years.
