About the Contributor
Finn Christensen-McElroy
Finn Christensen-McElroy, Editor in Chief
Junior Finn Christensen-McElroy moved to Oregon from California nine years ago, having grown up in San Francisco and the Bay Area. While she will always love the sunny weather of SoCal — where most of her extended family still lives — Oregon has its own charm, particularly the fact that it has four seasons (rather than just warm and less warm).  Her favorite classes this year are Advanced Journalism, AP English 3, and Honors Biology. Pursuing writing as a career has been a goal of Finn’s since she was seven, and she hopes to gain a better understanding of what that would look like this year, along with improving her skills.  When it comes to college, Finn plans on attending a school outside of the U.S. Though she would like to return to Europe, which her family visited last spring, she is also considering Canada in order to be closer to home and in a culture more similar to what she is familiar with.   On the weekends, she works at the Happy Valley Farmers Market. In her free time, she likes to read, listen to music, hang out with friends, and play with her puppy, Maeve.
