Hi! My name is Macey Thaxton. I’m a junior and this is my third year writing for the Ruff Draft. My favorite types of articles to write are news stories and reviews (especially movies). Outside of the newsroom, I still love to read and write. I also love spending time with my friends, going to school events and working at a local coffee shop. I am so excited to see what this year brings!
