Ever since she was nine years old, Lacey Sponaugle, junior, found excitement in journalism after working in her elementary school’s newspaper and morning show. After working in this club, she found that journalism was more than what she previously thought it was (which was boring, adult stuff), but about the world around us; entertainment, opinions, academics, and more. Seven years later, she is working for the Raider Review as Opinion Editor. Lacey uses journalism as a way to be creative and have an outlet where she can speak on things that she cares about. 

In school, Lacey’s favorite subjects are English and Journalism. They are the subjects where she can be the most creative with her writing. She wants to eventually major in journalism at a liberal arts college to fulfill this drive to write about things important to her. 

Outside of school, she enjoys baristing at her job, and learning more about coffee. She also enjoys listening to old and new music, as well as watching films.
