Claire Mayhew, Visual Editor

Senior and visual editor,Claire Mayhew, found her passion for journalism her junior year and has been a part of the staff ever since. "It was my older sister who got me into it," said Mayhew, "I saw how much fun my sister was having writing and wanted to get involved myself." When it comes to writing  in the paper, Claire's favorites stories are editorials or opinion pieces. "They are based off of facts which allows you to fight for your own opinion," said Mayhew.

Outside of the spartan speaks, Claire plays on a club volleyball team and also helps coach a volleyball team. In her free time, she also enjoys  hanging out with friends and  shopping or as she says, "retail therapy". Claire also enjoys music, "Im a country girl," Mayhew said. Lee Brice, Lady Antebellum, and Time McGraw are some of her favorites just to name a few.

Claire is planning on attending Purdue University next fall which she considers to be one of her greatest accomplishments. "The school has a great size, has a ton of options for students with undecided majors," said Mayhew, "I feels like a great fit for me."With the summer and graduation approaching, Claire plans on finishing on high note. "Its been a fun ride," said Mayhew, "At the same time, I am so excited to start the next chapter in my life and see where it takes me."
