Ruth Mioc, Design Chief

Ruth Mioc is a senior at Sandra Day O’Connor, and is currently in her third year on The Talon, the first as Design Chief and Opinions Editor. Her decision to join the newspaper was influenced by her lifelong love of writing, and proclivity for crafting stories that incorporate truth and engagement. She has always wanted to publish her work, and be a part of a community that shares her interests; she credits The Talon for giving her the opportunity to do both. Her favorite part of being on the staff, other than writing, is connecting with people through interviews, and researching topics in depth. This year she hopes to continue writing about relevant cultural and current events, and ensure that The Talon is designed and printed flawlessly. Most of her time is spent participating in school activities, but in her free time she enjoys volunteering at her local library, listening to music or seeing it live, and thrifting.
