Tara Connick, Managing Editor

Tara Connick is a senior and this is her third year on staff. She’s a designer but also has a soft-spot for photography. She spends most of her time in front of her computer stressing over fonts and layouts in the back newsroom while drinking way too many energy drinks or iced coffees, but when Hale finally kicks her out you can find her going on hikes or changing up her hair… again. Tara is so excited to be this year’s managing editor and see staff create amazing content in unprecedented ways.
