Avery Dunn, Junior Editor

Avery is a senior who has been writing for The Beacon for a little over six months after ranting about it extensively in journalism class. She spends all her time on the Potomac River participating in crew, which is actually a fake sport.

She loves Game of Thrones but has signed the petition for a rewrite of season eight.
