About the Contributors
Malena Tortorella ’27, Inklings Ambassador
Inklings Ambassador Malena Tortorella ’27 never considered herself artistic. That was until her grandma taught her to crochet hats.
“Crochet and knitting helped me find a passion,” Tortorella said.
Beanies became handmade gifts for friends and a newfound form of expression.
Tortorella is also a pianist; inspired by her sister, she has played for eleven years and recently performed at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York.
Nonetheless, she loves reading and writing. Tortorella joined Inklings to grow her artistic voice through honest storytelling.
“Journalism lets me express myself beyond speech,” Tortorella said.
Ava Chun ’25, Broadcast Director
Broadcast Director Ava Chun ’25 has always had a passion for dance. She started dancing when she was three years old and it has continued to be a huge part of her life ever since then.
“I love it because it allows me to express myself in so many different ways,” Chun said.
When Chun started Inklings, she began to embrace writing as another form of self expression. Ever since her sophomore year, she has been a proud contributor.
“Journalism gives me a community to be a part of,” she said. “It’s really fun to make new connections with people.”
