About the Contributors

Sabrina Dean, Staff Photographer

Senior Sabrina Dean is sad to say it is her final year on The Harbinger. After 4 semesters of being on staff, none of which in an actual Harbinger class, she is thrilled to grow as a photographer. When she isn’t waiting impatiently for her raw photos to load, you can find Dean buried in a pile of work from her IB Diploma classes, finding ways to make herself more busy, or playing for The SME Senate soccer team! Being a part of various clubs, NHS, Link Crew, SHARE Chairing, and Advisory Boards doesn’t stop Sabrina from having fun! When she is begging for a mental break she will be driving for coffee with her friends, figuring out how to become unbanned from snapchat, or working as a Lifeguard or a host at the French Market. All of this, of course, could not be done without Second Best Coffee or her dog, Taco, by her side.

Emily Pollock, Photo Mentor

Senior Emily Pollock is going into her last year on The Harbinger as a photo mentor. She is excited to spend her senior year at deadlines, in the J-room and on many photo adventures. Outside of The Harbinger she’s involved in tennis, swimming, DECA and lacrosse. When she isn’t shooting, you can find her at Starbucks, Barnes and Noble or hanging with her friends. Emily cannot wait to see what the year brings on The Harbinger.

Clara Peters, Print Photo Editor

Senior Clara Peters is so excited for her fourth year on the Harbinger staff as a Head Print Photo Editor. When she’s not editing photos, designing photostories, or holding her camera, you’ll find her hanging out with friends, walking her dogs or listening to music. Outside of Harbinger, she holds the roles of a SHARE Exec and Link Leader. Peters can’t wait to lead this year’s photography staff with the other editors!
