Sally Lee, Writer

An ambitious sophomore, Sally enters her third year as a Jets Flyover writer to further explore, question, and share the world through her writing. She believes journalism extends beyond mere storytelling, providing a sense of connection in the DIS community. Her writing reflects the same teamwork and focus she brings to the court as a varsity volleyball player and an active member of the National Honor Society. You can find her laughing in the hallways with her friends or critiquing the lunch menu in the cafeteria.
