Matilda McLaren, Sports Editor

Hi! My name is Matilda McLaren and I am a junior and one of the section editors this year. At Glenbard South I am vice president of Best Buddies, and a part of Future Medical Professionals Club, French club and more. In my free time I love playing sand volleyball, traveling to new places and getting involved in social and political advocacy!
