Ayaan Olasewere ’25, Web Sports Editor
Whether she’s writing her next article or swimming laps, Web Sports Editor Ayaan Olasewere ’25 always makes a splash. Olasewere started swimming as a child, and it since has grown to be an essential part of her identity.
“It teaches you a lot of life lessons,” Olasewere said.
Besides starting swimming in her childhood, Olasewere became interested in reading, which inspired her to start writing for fun. After taking Intro to Journalism at Staples her freshman year, the spark for writing came back.
“It’s really cool to follow leads and important information,” Olasewere said. “You have the power to communicate that to the public.”
Lily Hultgren ’25, Editor-in-Chief
Editor-in-Chief Lily Hultgren ’25 isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. When she first joined Advanced Journalism, she knew it would push her out of her comfort zone, yet she welcomed the opportunity.
“I’ve learned to embrace fear,” Hultgren said. “Taking risks has helped me see my worth and recognise my potential to grow more.”
For Hultgren, this mindset extends beyond journalism. She’s discovered new passions by facing her fears head-on.
“I used to be scared of the woods, but I’ve gotten really into backpacking,” Hultgren said. “In the future, I want to explore more of nature.”
