Senior Staff Profile: Alyssa Wells
- What is your position on “The Hiller”?
I am a staff writer.
- How long have you been on staff and why did you join?
I took journalism 1 last year, and this year I joined the staff. I took journalism 1 for fun, and when I wrote my article on Sophia Polito I fell in love with journalism and writing that article.
- What has been your favorite article you’ve written and why?
My favorite article would be “Sofia Polito scores her way to Anderson,” and it is my favorite article because I always looked up to her in lacrosse and getting to interview her was pretty surreal to me.
- What are your plans after graduation?
I plan on attending college at the University of Cincinnati to study criminal justice and psychology.
- What will you miss most about “The Hiller”?
I will miss writing because I have always liked writing and this was a place that I could write for fun.
- What is the most important lesson you have learned from being in journalism?
The most important lesson I have learned is that journalism kind of pulls different groups together; different grades and people come together.
- What is your favorite memory while writing for “The Hiller”?
My favorite memory has been the Christmas party because we all got to bond and have fun.
- How many red pens do you think Mrs. O’Lare has gone through grading your articles?
I would say 2.5 pens.
- How has Mrs. O’Lare impacted/inspired you while writing for “The Hiller”?
I love the way Mrs. O’Lare teaches and the way she runs her class. She really is my ideal teacher.
- What is your favorite Trinity lunch meal?
I would say the salad with the balsamic vinaigrette.
- Anything you would like to add? Anything you would like to say to the rest of the staff?
I loved being on the newspaper this year and I couldn’t ask for a better staff to work with.
