Laurel Rose Barrett, Co-Editor-in-Chief

I’m Laurel Barrett, and I am in my third year as the Editor-in-Chief of The Chomp! This year I am Co-Chief with Kalise! I am currently a senior, and my favorite subjects are English, AP Calc, & History.

My hobbies are reading, writing, and creating artistic projects, like posters and models. I am a lawyer in Mock Trial, a President of Book Club, and I’ve been a NJ-JCL Executive Board Officer for 3 years. I’m also a member of Latin Club and NHS & World Language Honors Societies. Additionally, I run The Chomp’s Facebook account, and I’ve been the social media manager of a NJ non-profit called P.U.R.E. Girls, Inc. and enjoy volunteering at Angels Community Outreach when I can.

I plan to become a lawyer in the future and practice somewhere in New England. I look forward to interviewing featured teachers, covering Features, writing opinion pieces, and creating book reviews for The Chomp this year! If you want to join our team, feel free to email me @[email protected].
