Isabella Ank, Co-Print Editor in Chief

Isabella Ank is the Print Editor in Chief and a senior. This will be her third year on staff. Besides working on Pep O’ Plant, Isabella is also a member of numerous clubs at school and volunteers regularly at Teen Court. When not at school, she can be found at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble (or the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble). Her goal in life is to live in a mega-mansion and be so rich she can afford to go on spur-of-the-moment vacations or shopping sprees in Paris’ Champs Élysées. Shout-out to her fellow Capricorns, the best Zodiac sign.
