Hi! My name is Ace Smith [he/him], and I’m a freshman writer. I participate in the marching band, indoor color guard, The Chomp, and the theater program. In my free time, I practice art, writing, performing, and music. I’m also a member of the student council, and a handful of clubs.

I love making things creative and artsy, as I specialize in poetry and story writing. I have four cats, whom I love dearly, and a passion for decorating with pins, stickers, and all things fun.  My goal is to bring some sparkle to The Chomp, and practice my skills to improve. :)
