The Marionette

Becca Jolly, Editor-in-chief

Hi I’m Becca and I am a senior! This is my third and final year on the Marionette staff and my second year as Co-Editor! I plan on majoring in psychology after graduation. This year I hope to improve my writing skills and expand on my topics that I write about. Outside of school I like to read, listen to music, and watch New Jersey Devil’s hockey games. I can’t wait to see what this year brings!
