Sadie Wyatt – The Beacon

Sadie Wyatt, Opinions Editor

Sadie Wyatt is a senior who is proud and humbled to announce that she has now reached 5’2. She will accept gifts and moderate praise. Sadie is so excited to be an opinions editor this year and, as noted in her senioritis article, Chief Medical Correspondent for The Beacon (she didn’t put that in the article and she has no idea who did. Someone please tell her.) She can often be found sipping coffee, giving her opinions (lol) on the best chai tea latte in DC, and texting people “it’s ok if not!” until her Virgo mind can’t take it anymore.
