Hello friends! My name is Athena, and I’m the Editor-in-Chief of this wonderful publication. As this is my fourth year on the Stinger staff, I hope to be able to provide readers with an adequate representation of Cam High’s student body and occurrences, stories from diverse perspectives, and generally, the highest quality journalistic material possible. Outside of journalism, I’m youth ambassador for both Save the Children and the Bangladeshi-American Charitable Organization, and have a huge passion for  helping those in need. Hope you enjoy our site!
