Martha Schick - Multimedia Chief 2012-2013

Martha Schick – Multimedia Chief 2012-2013, Multimedia Chief

Martha is the Multimedia Chief; this is her third year in Journalism and her second on staff.  Even though most of her free time is consumed with journalism, she somehow finds time to be the Speech and Debate captain and member of the Academic Team, Belle Voce, film club and member-at-large of NHS.  She loves reading whenever she can, writing as much as possible, singing show tunes and nerdy songs at the top of her lungs, and following the marching and pep band around at all of their games.  She also loves coffee.

Martha Schick can be reached for comments at [email protected].
