Senior Maggie Kissick is ready to jump into her third and final year on Harbinger. As Co-Online-Editor-in-Chief and Social Media Editor, she spends more time tormenting Aanya and Bridget in the J-room than with her own family. And although she’d love to spend all her time designing social media posts or decoding Tate’s edits, Maggie stays involved as a cheer captain, Link Leader, East Ambassador, SHARE chair, NHS member and swimmer. She’s also a lover of long drives with no particular destination in mind, a Taylor Swift superfan and a connoisseur of poke bowls. »
