Ally Pick, Podcast managing editor
Ally Pick is a junior at Middletown High School. This is her second semester of journalism and she intends to take the course for the rest of her high school career. While she does not plan to go into journalism after high school, she finds it important to be able to search for important stories to intrigue people and to have a news-based mind. At first Ally joined the class due to her love for writing and English, but after taking the course for a year she discovered she has also gained interest in the broadcast aspect the class has to offer. Her interests outside of class include reading, writing, forcing her cat Suggs to cuddle with her, watching movies, and campaigning for Emily Pusey’s run for the title of Hoco Queen, vote today. Her dream is to go into dentistry, but the ideas of what she wants to do still do not remain solid. All she knows for sure is that today is short, and tomorrow is even shorter, therefore she will write like each day is her last.
