Shea Robinson, Editor-in-Chief, College & Career Editor

As one of three writers in her family, Shea Robinson has gotten into numerous fights about the Oxford comma over the dinner table. She utilizes her passion for proper punctuation (and also alliteration) along with her love for thesauruses partly to keep Lancer Nation informed, but mostly just to feel like she is being useful. Somehow the leadership of the school-wide news publication has been entrusted to her and she will, in fact, let it go to her head.

Shea is also the newly appointed Custom Ink Editor, she graciously accepted the unanimous decision made by her peers.
