Jane Levy, Editor-in-Chief
When she first joined Inklings her sophomore year, Jane Levy ’16 was scared to raise her hand in class. She lacked confidence in her voice and her skill.
But she stuck with it, and now, she can’t imagine what high school would be like without it.
“Inklings defines my high school experience,” Levy, who is now the Editor-in-Chief of Inklings, said with a smile.
Though she loves journalism, it’s the people in Inklings who make her experience meaningful.
“Through Inklings I have made my best friends,” she said. “I would have missed out on so much had I not joined.”
Being a part of Inklings has taught her that with freedom comes responsibility and that what you put in you get out.
“The lessons I have learned in Inklings transcend into all aspects of my life,” she said. “I am so fortunate to be leading this class, club and community.”
Kacey Hertan, Business Manager
After reluctantly enrolling in Journalism as a freshman, Kacey Hertan ’16 knew that it would become a passion of hers, “as soon as I wrote my first article I knew Inklings was something that I wanted to be involved in,” Hertan said. This Massachusetts native has spent her three years in Inklings as a business manager, where she sells adds and manages the budget. In her free time, Kacey stays busy as the captain of the Diving team, which she started participating in freshman year after never being on a diving board before. Aside from being an impressive athlete, Hertan is the president of the Key Club, the oldest community service club at Staples. While she enjoys covering a variety of stories, her favorite to write is features. More specifically, the unique people that she has met writing her Humans of Staples piece has been her most rewarding Inklings experience.
