Addison Childre, Director of New Staff

Addison is the other half of the amazing, glorious, jaw dropping, Spreaditors. The beacon always, and I mean always, comes first, but when she is not slaving away, trying to make the spread as beautiful as possible, she can be spotted playing a bit too much lacrosse or going on a bit too long hikes—it clears her head or whatever. If you can’t reach her then don’t be alarmed. To have her actually respond to text is mind boggling—I guess you’re just special if so.
