Alejandra Gerlach, Managing Editor

My name is Alejandra, and I’m a senior majoring in Neuroscience. I initially joined the Trinitonian as a first-year and worked my way up from a Sports Reporter to Managing Editor. My time working on the Sports desk led me to meet new, interesting people and I greatly value how the experience helped me develop as a journalist. Being a part of a student-run paper is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and connect with the campus community (not to mention super fun).
