About the Contributors
Avery Michalowski ’26, Assistant Creative Director
Assistant Creative Director Avery Michalowski ’26 channels her artistry in both the classroom and the dance studio.
She embarked on her Inklings journey after being inspired by her older sister’s recommendation.
“My sister took Intro to Journalism and Advanced Journalism. She loved it and always told stories about it, so I found it appealing,” Michalowski said.
Alongside her dedication to journalism, Michalowski remains a committed dancer with a particular love for ballet.
“{Dancing} takes up a lot of my time,” Michalowski said. “It will definitely be hard to balance school, Inklings and dancing, but I am ready for the challenge.”
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.”
