About the Contributors

Lucy McWeeny, Editor-in-Chief

I am a Junior here at Mount Greylock, and I have been a member of the Echo for three years. Along with being a journalist, I love playing soccer, reading both Jane Austen and trashy murder mysteries, and seeing how fast I can complete the NyTimes mini crossword puzzle.

Kiersten Simpson, Staff Writer

Kiersten Simpson is a senior. When not writing for the Echo, Simpson can be found onstage or derailing JCL meetings. Simpson has never been stung by a bee, but they are still seeking vengeance on a wasp that stung them. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a wasp that claims to have been on Pontoosuc Lake on May 27th, 2020, please alert Kiersten so justice may finally be properly served.
