About the Contributors
Angelina Matra '25, Managing Editor
Managing editor Angelina Matra ’25 knows all about versatility. From doing a Harvard philosophy course, camp counseling and playing tennis and guitar, she has done it all.
“Having open conversations is really engaging to me,” Matra said.
Matra’s interest in trying new things drove her to take journalism. Initially interested in being a web editor, she took a chance to work as a paper editor.
“From the very first time I went to layout, I fell in love. I went home and told my parents ‘I’m so glad I did that. This is what I'm going to do,’” she said.
Demi Sasson ’25, Associate Paper Managing Editor
Demi Sasson ’25, Paper, an Associate Paper Managing Editor, feels her journey in journalism has not only impacted her writing, but also her personality and social skills as well.
“It has made me more outgoing in general,” Sasson said. “Having to interview people has helped because I would not do that anywhere else.”
Journalism has also brought out her more creative side. This summer Sasson dyed a few strands of her hair pink, matching with her friends.
“I’ve always had a creative side,” Sasson said. “The arts section is my favorite because it allows me to be fluid with my designs.”
Jolie Gefen ’24, Web Managing Editor
Web Managing Editor Jolie Gefen ’24 understands what it means to manage and organize, as this past summer she worked as a camp counselor for Westport’s camp Recing Crew.
“It helped me become more of a leader,” Gefen said. “[Recing Crew] gave me lots of skills that I'll be able to grow upon.”
Skillfully over the years, Gefen has learned to take advantage of Staples's numerous resources: one being Inklings.
“Inklings allows me to write what I love and helps me formulate my own opinions,” Gefen said. “I look forward to being on a paper in college and pursuing journalism further.”
