About the Contributors
Bianca Mastocciolo ’26 , Creative Director
Creative Director Bianca Mastocciolo ’26 channels her energy into the art of dance, a passion she’s had since toddlerhood. Beyond choreography, she works a part-time job at a small business, assisting children in curating fits.
“I work at Groove in Westport, which is a kids’ clothing store,” Mastocciolo said. “I love seeing people I know there.”
Mastocciolo’s motivation to join Advanced Journalism was driven by her friends’ encouragement and mom’s eye for fashion, which shaped the creative perspective she offers to Inklings.
“I was really interested by the idea of journalism,” she said, “and I grew up around fashion magazines.”
Andi Jacobs ’26, Editor-in-Chief
Discovering new perspectives and points of view is what drives Editor-in-Chief Andi Jacobs ’26. While hard news stories might be boring for some, she finds them the most impactful and the most gratifying.
Jacobs doesn’t shy away from the difficult stories, a mindset she learned from her training in dance. Dance ingrained a disciplined mindset to always push herself to new levels and do the best she could.
“The most helpful thing [dance has] done for me is teach me the importance of hard work and dedication,” Jacobs said. “That’s something that I apply everywhere, but especially to journalism.”
