Claire O'Halloran –– Web Features Editor

Veteran staff member and vocal Staples Wrecker Claire O’Halloran ’13 is proud to return to Inklings for her second year as a web editor.  Last year found O’Halloran as web opinions editor, where she enjoyed sharing her opinion on every aspect of life both inside and outside of Staples.  She has tackled a variety of issues from sports to fashion.  Her favorite piece was a column that she wrote in defense of the hit television show “The Jersey Shore.”   

This year she will be a web features editor.  O’Halloran is excited for her new position.  She wants to broaden the different kinds of pieces that she writes for Inklings.  Experiencing everything that each section of the paper has to offer is one of her biggest goals for this year.

 Another goal for O’Halloran is to work on her editing skills.  She believes that going beyond writing individual pieces and editing the work of others is the best way for her to improve her journalistic skills.  Taking a team approach to creating a polished news product reminds O’Halloran of her experiences on the Staples girl’s Varsity Soccer squad.

Taking over the features section during her junior year will be a lot of work for O’Halloran, but she is ready for the challenge.  “I’m excited to have more on my plate so I can help out the new web editors and really be a leader this year,” she said.
