Virginia Suardi, Magazine Executive Editor

Virginia Suardi is a senior and one of the magazine executive editors who feels very very blessed to be a Sagittarius (the best and most underrated sign!) She adores her guardian planet, Jupiter. She loves traveling, pretending she’s in a biopic about herself, and hyping up her friends (who are the baddest women alive.) At production you’ll likely find her eating entire bars of chocolate or completely zoning out (the only two things she has ever done in her life.) She is super lucky to work with such creative people on The Beacon!

Adult women fail to uplift young women

Virginia Suardi, Magazine Executive Editor May 5, 2019
