Hello, my name is Melissa Preston, I am the Chief Copy Editor for the 2020/21 school year, and this is my first year on the Knight Life staff. I joined because I enjoy literature and government, so journalism connects the two. I am so glad to have this opportunity, and I hope you enjoy reading my articles!
