Lancer Debates (Episode 2): Staffers Luciana Mendy, Lyla Weeks and Lucy Stephens debate the ranks of social media platforms

Entering her third year on staff, senior Luciana Mendy is excited to step into the role of Head Online Editor and Head Copy Editor. When Luciana isn’t doing a last-minute interview or scrambling to come up with story ideas, she is either playing soccer, hanging out with friends, binging Criminal Minds or pulling an all-nighter to finish the homework that she procrastinated. »

Starting her third and final year of Wednesday night deadlines and Tate’s “5-minute,” senior Lucy Stephens is thrilled to make the J-room her second home as she serves as Head Online Editor and Head Social Media Editor. While most of Stephens’ thoughts revolve around how she can squeeze just one more InDesign file on her nearly-out-of-storage MacBook or how aggravating it is to upload a featured image on WordPress, she still finds time to dance competitively, hang out with friends and drive 30 minutes for a chai latte from 7Brew. »

Going into her fourth year on the Harbinger as an assistant social media editor, designer, and design mentor, she is looking forward to her final year on staff. Outside of the J-Room, you can find Lyla dancing for the Lancer Dancers as one of the Varsity captains, volunteering through NCL and SME Share, studying for AP classes, or hanging out with her friends and family. »
