Bailey Brammer, Editor-in-Chief
I am a senior at OHS and this is my fourth year in the OC Journalism Department and my second year as editor-in-chief. I enjoy writing, running, watching Netflix, listening to music and spending time with my friends and family. I am also very involved with various clubs on campus. This year, I plan to tell the stories of as many people as possible, and to "feature the unfeatured." One day, I hope to be a writer for the New York Times.
