Staff Profile
Caroline Cohen –– Staff Writer
Since she was in eighth grade, Caroline Cohen ’15 has been reading and studying the many pages of Inklings.
With two older siblings and a family subscription to the paper, Cohen has never been short on copies of Inklings to read until she could finally join the staff herself.
Now making her debut as a staff writer, Cohen is both excited and a little nervous to be a part of the school newspaper.
“Writing for the paper is so different than writing essays for school. It’s nerve-racking to see if people like my writing,” Cohen said. “I want to make sure that I cover everything.”
With the count down until her first article is published, Cohen says she can’t wait to get a taste of everything the paper has to offer. She is willing to try different things, but is particularly excited to write for the Features section.
Although Cohen may be new to writing for the staff, her years of reading the paper make her a promising new asset to Inklings.
