About the Contributors

Livia Kam, Associate EIC of Blog

Hi, I'm Livia Kam! I'm a junior and the Associate Editor-in-Chief of Blog, managing the WordsWorth website and posting each article. I also helped create our updated website as WordsWorth recently switched our web host to SNO. When I'm not running around asking for interviews, I serve in student government, edit for MFS' literary and arts magazine, and fence foil. You can catch me wandering around Rittenhouse Square in Philly after orchestra or listening to Beabadoobee, Tyler the Creator, and Maurice Ravel.

I report and write news and content for WordsWorth! Outside of school, I love to dance; when I'm not, I'm with my friends!

Maya DeAndrea, Copy Editor

Hi! My name is Maya DeAndrea and I serve as Chief Copy Editor for the paper, a role in which I edit each article that comes through the editing chain to ensure all writing is grammatically and factually sound. Outside of WordsWorth, I intern at both the Fulbright Association and Saddler's Woods Conservation Association, and I'm super involved with the Model UN program here at MFS, where I serve as one of the Secretaries-General. My academic passions include international relations and environmental sustainability, and I hope to pursue a career in environmental policy in my future.
