Aaron Gorman, Junior Editor

Aaron is a sophomore and a junior editor on The Beacon. His biggest accomplishments include getting a lot of likes on one of his TikToks and having a cool older sister. He has spent his time during Corona carefully ranking each Taylor Swift song so he can objectively find her best album. When he isn’t wasting his time obsessively listening to 10-year-old pop music, he can be found watching marble racing or looking at polling data. Other than politics and marbles, he also loves writing and Dance Moms.
