About the Contributors
MaryKate Lillis, Podcast Editor
MaryKate Lillis is a senior and second-year staffer on Le Journal. She loves playing soccer, watching love island, and drinking diet coke! One of her favorite hobbies is nannying and taking care of kids, which makes her so excited to potentially work with them in the future! MaryKate is most passionate about revamping Sion Student Media’s podcast, making it something students can enjoy every week! MaryKate is most excited to spend her last moments of senior year making memories with her friends and soaking in every good and bad memory. One of her biggest pieces of advice is, “Don’t let your mind convince you you can’t do something, on my first year of Le Journel I was always siking myself out thinking I couldn’t complete all my tasks on time. My biggest piece of advice is find a niche that you are passionate about and share it with your piers, you never know how your creative ideas can benefit the staff and the project your working together as a team!”
