Julia Ehlers, Editor-in-Chief

My name is Julia Ehlers, and I’m a senior here at Lincoln East. This is my second year on the Oracle Staff, and I’m looking forward to another great year as an editor! I love writing stories, and learning about new perspectives through journalism. I’m also involved in cross country, show choir, concert choir, and theater tech, which keeps me pretty busy. I love music and enjoy listening to Broadway soundtracks, as well as singing and playing piano. I’m planning on going to college next year, and study civil engineering or architectural engineering. In my free time, I love to read fantasy fiction and science fiction books, and spend time with my family and friends.
