Alexandra O'Kane –– Staff Writer

There is no better contribution to a successful staff than someone who is willing to help no matter the circumstances.  Staff Writer Alexandra O’Kane ’13 is not only outgoing, motivated, and interested in what she does, but she is also thrilled to help wherever and whenever she can.

Soon after joining the class last year, O’Kane found that being a part of Inklings was not just about writing individually, but rather working together as a team towards one final product. “I love the feeling of being able to contribute my help to produce something the whole school gets to see,” says O’Kane. “That’s what got me hooked on Inklings.”

While running on the cross country and track teams at Staples, O’Kane finds balancing her schoolwork along with sports is at times difficult. This doesn’t stop her love of being involved with school activities. No matter how big her workload is she’s always open to anything she can help with.

O’Kane looks forward to the coming year, since there is a bigger staff with lots of people who seem very driven to produce great articles and great layouts. She also hopes to experience writing more important articles, as well as lending a positive helping hand where she can.
