Elizabeth Hamby, Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Ledger

Elizabeth Hamby or as most know them as “Hamby”, is a senior (yes oh my gosh a senior). This year is her fourth and final year (ahhhhhhhh) in publications, although this year they get the honor of being Co-Editor-In-Chief of the Ledger. Also whatever you do, do not ask her about colleges or the future. They may have a little bit of a crisis or cry. Um anyway, she is really interested in chemistry and of course journalism, and wants to find a way to combine the two in a career. Nonetheless, they are ready to conquer this year and have fun while doing it!
