Mary-Ellen Abshire
Hi, I’m Mary-Ellen Abshire, and I’m a senior at St. Thomas’ Episcopal. I’ve been at STE since kindergarten. My favorite thing about my school are the amazing people there - from classmates to faculty, St. Thomas’ Episcopal has a community like no other. Ever since I wrote my first essay in fifth grade about the Dust Bowl, I knew writing was my passion. Now as co editor-in-chief of the yearbook at my school, I get to lead the staff and incorporate my ideas about design, photography, and stories. I also enjoy singing in my school’s choir, traveling, playing tennis, and volunteering in the children’s ministry at my church. I’m looking forward to interning with The Buzz because I love interviewing people and learning their stories!
