My name is Delainey Stephenson, and I’m a senior this year. I am the Marketing Editor and Co-Photo Editor, which gives me the chance to be creative and involved in many different projects. I would describe myself as outgoing, caring, and a friend to all. I enjoy connecting with others and making sure everyone feels included.
