Oliver Garvey, Staff Reporter

I’m the captain of the Women’s Bowling Team at Washington High School, a member of the Color Guard, and I’ve been a member of the Performing Arts Technicians for five productions.
After school, I go to Knitting & Crochet Club, Dungeons & Dragons, and GSA (Gender & Sexuality Alliance).
Outside of school, I go to guitar lessons at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy, read fiction, watch movies or television, and spend time with my pets.
I have a great passion for writing and journalism. When I graduate, I hope to go to school for psychology and write informative papers about how neurodivergent people’s brains are different and similar to neurotypical people and how neurodivergency can differ from person to person.
