Annika Good, Opinions & Arts Editor

Annika is a senior at NASH. This is her second year writing for The Uproar, and she is beyond thrilled to be the Opinions & Arts editor! When she's not writing in-depth pieces on Taylor Swift, you will most definitely find her reading a book... while listening to Taylor Swift. She hopes to study along the path of journalism and English literature in college, and if the opportunity arises, she would love to spend as many of those semesters as she can in Europe.
