Sarah is a sophomore interested in studying creative writing and philosophy, politics, and economics. Sarah has two great loves: words and the Gospel; Penn Epistle represents the intersection of these two entities, and she would be remiss if she didn’t take up the opportunity to glorify God through the power of language. When she’s not writing or reading, Sarah enjoys baking, snacking, watching animes and kdramas, and hiking in the Pacific Northwest.
