Nikhila Bulusu, Feature Editor

Hi, my name is Nikhila Bulusu and although I am a senior, I am a newbie to newspaper. I have always enjoyed writing and meeting different types of people so I am really excited to be a part of this staff! Since I love communicating with people so much, I look forward to studying business marketing in college and doing a study abroad internship. I can’t wait to see what this year brings!
