Emily Sanchez is a senior this year and has been involved in Magpie since her freshmen year in 2020. She currently serves as co-Managing Editor and enjoys writing arts and entertainment articles. She is involved with the school’s cheer team as a base as well as the Speech Team, Student Council, Spanish Club, Chinese Club and NHS. She likes to spend her quality time relaxing and working after school. After high school, she plans on majoring in nursing and hopes to one day work at Riley’s Hospital in Indianapolis. During her last year on the staff, she hopes to make the most out of the year and cover topics that aren’t usually covered. Magpie wasn’t just another class for her. It shaped her into who she is today and has allowed her to express her love for writing.
