Caryl Shepard ’22, Editor-in-Chief

My name is Caryl Shepard and I'm honored to serve as one of The Merionite's Editor-in-Chiefs this year. I have been an active Merionite member throughout my time at high school, from writing freshman year to serving as Assistant Business Editor sophomore year and being a News Editor last year. Outside of The Merionite, I am also a member of the cross country and lacrosse teams, a part of the Public Health Club, and a Writing Fellow at LM.
