Nicole Surcel, co-opinions editor

Hello! My name is Nicole Surcel, and I am currently a co-Opinions Editor for The Oracle. Outside of the school newspaper, I am a part of various clubs here at GBS, including Helios, Calliope, SOAR, Stitched, TLC Tutoring, Peer Group, and Student Council. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and taking photos, and I hope to pursue a career in forensics or criminal justice fields. One of my greatest interests is astrology, so feel free to ask me about your zodiac sign!
