Ella Moxley, News Editor

Ella is a fourth-year who generally floats between homes in southeast Ohio, Alaska, Seattle, and Oklahoma. Besides the Review, Ella studies Environmental Studies, does research for the Economics department, and works at the Science Library (the best library!). Ella likes to bike, listen to podcasts, and can occasionally be found baking anything with cinnamon in it. However, her most important passion is News which she edits alongside the one and only Kush Bulmer who keeps Ella’s commas in the right place, patiently supports strange pitch idea, and always agrees to get Kim's with her on late Thursday nights.
