Hey readers! I am the junior Editor In Chief of the yearbook staff. I enjoy binge eating and watching the office in my spare time. If I am not at home snuggled up in my bed laughing along to Michael Scott, you can probably find me eating at my local Chipotle and/or Chickfila. As you can see my life revolves around food and I'd like to keep it that way.
