Manal Ahmed, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! I’m Manal and I’m a senior and one of the two Editors-in-Chief on staff this year. I’ve been apart of DOI for the past 3 years along with Student Council, Topcats, Link Crew, NHS, & Model UN. Outside of school, I work at Kumon, love to spend time with my friends and family, and binge eat about 3 boxes of Cheerios per week. I also hate butterflies and have a slight obsession with colored pens and stickers.
