Madison Magyar, features editor

I am Madison Magyar, senior and features editor at Northwest Horizons. I run cross country for the school and volunteer with special needs kids. I decided to join journalism because I have always had an interest in writing and was fascinated by the school paper. I will be leading the features section of the paper and providing help to the new staff writers. I hope to provide quality articles that you all want to read and share.
