Addy Bennett, Editor-in-Chief

Addy Bennett is a senior in her eleventh year at Horizon Honors and is excited to continue as the Editor-in-Chief in her sixth year of Journalism. Bennett spends her free time embroidering, crocheting, knitting, playing video games, and taking pictures of her dogs, Pocket & Tripper. She loves to be with her family, especially when they are all eating, and she tries to provide both comic relief and advice for all her friends. Bennett is also interested in film and fashion (both vintage and modern), and is big on the color pink and lots of lipstick. And she makes a mean bowl of guacamole.
