Hi there! I'm Jonathan, an Editor-in-Chief for The Merionite this year. I've always had a passion for writing and this year I'm ecstatic to help lead our newspaper in a new direction! In addition to putting together the paper, I also run for my school's cross country team, have fun in our hectic debate club, do some crazy engineering projects for TSA, and help run our school's coding competition! Can't wait to start the next issue!
