Samara Gerstle, Managing Editor

Hi! My name is Samara Gerstle (she/her), and I’m the managing editor of the Trinitonian. I’m a junior English major with minors in creative writing and French. Outside of the Trinitonian, I’m a writing tutor at the writing center, a member of Alpha Chi Lambda, and I collect postcards and other antiques in my free time. I’m so excited to work for the Trinitonian again this year!
