Graysen Pendry, Editor-in-Chief

Graysen Pendry is beyond thrilled to serve as Editor-in-Chief for her final year on The Parker Weekly. In past years, she has loved every minute as Online Editor, Copy Editor, and Photographer, and she’s excited to see what this year has in store. When she’s not editing articles or looking over the layout in InDesign, she’s leading meetings as Executive Director of the Youth Reproductive Justice Conference, grading committees as Director of Committee Affairs, or hitting serves as Captain of the Girls Tennis team. She can often be found performing on stage in the auditorium, rewatching The Post for the hundredth time, or camped out in the pub, happily polishing articles with a cold strawberry refresher in hand.
