Nick Giorgetti, Political Editor

Nick Giorgetti is an expert memer, musician, second-generation Italian, food-loving and traveling senior, trapped in a perpetual search for the perfect meme.  He is highly involved in the Band program at NASH and is a member of the Marching Band cult, plotting global domination one shenanigan at a time.  When he is not knee-deep in homework and music, he woodworks, studies Italian, plays guitar, and catches up on current events, politics, and memes while sipping coffee.

During the darkest times, he never forgets the wise words of Niccolò Machiavelli: "The ends justify the memes."
