Photostory editor Amanda Rowan ’22 knows what it’s like to have a tight schedule. Rowan participates in Staples varsity cheerleading, Inklings and runs Talenthood, a tutoring program for young students in Westport. It is Rowan’s passion for writing that initially pushed her to join Inklings.

“I love writing and the environment in Inklings has just become such a fun and safe experience for me,” Rowan said. 

She is now entering her second year of Inklings and enjoys being a part of the community.

“It has really helped me,” she said, “to make new friends and try out new things.”
