Helene Martin, Managing Editor of Print
What interests you about journalism?
I have a passion for storytelling and journalism is one platform that I use to explore that passion. I do a lot of creative writing that allows me to use my imagination, while journalism allows me to tell other people’s stories.
Who’s your favorite fictitious character? Why?
Cimorene from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I was obsessed with this series as a little girl because the princess befriends the dragon and rejects the haughty prince. Cimorene showed me that princesses can be the heroes of their own story. Also, who doesn’t love a book with wise dragons and evil wizards?
What is something you think everyone should do at least once?
I think everyone should go out of their comfort zone at least once in their life. If you never leave your comfort zone you could be missing out on some worthwhile experiences. Although leaving your comfort zone is never fun at first it can lead to great things.
