Hi! My name is Lexi and I am this year’s social media manager and design chief. This is my fourth and final year on the Talon staff, so I am looking forward to writing stories and having fun with my staff. In my free time, I like to sing and create short films. Hope you enjoy the great content we will be putting out this year!
