Ella Mitchell, Editor-in-Chief

Oy! I’m Ella, and I'm a senior. This is my second year on the Knight Media staff, this year as one of the editors-in-chief. Print is where my passions lie, especially within the column and feature writing realms. Outside of the program, I am involved in speech and theater. My speech events are Original Comedy and Humorous Interpretation and my favorite color of M&M is green (they just taste better).
