Boise Highlights

Sydney Wold, Editor-in-Chief

My name is Sydney and this is my third year of writing for the Boise Highlights! I enjoy writing creatively in my free time and writing Front and In-Depth articles for the paper, especially ones concerning political or social issues. Besides writing, I also listen to music and read books. My favorite artist is Tyler, the Creator and my favorite book genre is mystery. I’m excited for my third and (unfortunately) final year of writing for this amazing paper and I hope to make the most of it!
