Alyssa Cheatham, Reporter

Alyssa Cheatham is a senior and first year member on staff, but is only beginning to achieve her goal of having a career in writing. She is well known for her plethora of weird facts and shark knowledge, as well as her passion for sharks and ocean predator protection and education. Her time is split between being a member of the Drumline and Band, being on staff, and balancing her class load during the year. Although this will be Alyssa’s first and final year on the Marquee staff she is excited to spend it with so many amazing people, the amazing paper, and hopefully some amazing articles of her own.
