Hi I’m Alejandra! I’m a senior and this is my third year writing for The Chieftain. Some of my interests include reading, plants, and my kitties. I’m very excited to share the Editor-In-Chief position with Carla Barefoot! My favorite pastime is listening to Juanes with Carla. I’m excited to write for The Chieftain this year! :-)
