Hi!! I’m Bella, and I am so excited to join The Exchanged’s editorial staff as an objective editor! Outside of singing (a nearly constant activity), I am often absorbed in a good book. I additionally love learning about all things science, listening to music, crocheting, and playing softball.

Hello! I'm Jacob Fife, and I am an Arts Editor for the 2022-2023 school year. The arts, whether performed on a stage or hand-painted on a canvas, are a vital part to both STA and NCS. As an Arts Editor, I hope to continue and strengthen the discussion of arts, whether it be through a passionate love letter to Francisco Goya's paintings or a controversial critique of a new Taylor Swift album. As for me, my most-listened-to artist is Sufjan Stevens, and my favorite movie is Fantastic Mr. Fox. Please enjoy the arts articles in The Exchanged, and email [email protected] if you wish to contact me!

​Greetings. I am pleased to be this year’s activity coordinator. I will be coordinating lots of activities and email me ([email protected]) if you need an activity coordinated or you spot a wild fish on the Close because I enjoy fish. When I’m not providing free labor for The Exchanged, you can find me running from the paparazzi in cross country/track. Not da bird girl no more.

I joined STA as a freshman two years ago during the pandemic. Unable to attend school in person that year, my only knowledge of the community came from the student organized news operations like the Exchanged. So I'm glad to be a part of this team to address highlights in the close to the everyone. If you have any technical difficulties, feel free to reach out to me.
