I am very excited to go into my second year of working on The Prowler. Last year, I proudly won the Journalist of the Year title for my photography work. Along with working on The Prowler, I am a member of the Starr’s Mill Beta Club. I love music and spending time with my friends and family. I am really interested in sports photography, and that is how I will keep contributing to The Prowler.

This is sophomore Elle Lewis’s second year in journalism.
