Terina Papatu, Hawkeye Co-Editor-in-Chief

Terina Papatu is currently a sophomore and the News Editor for Hawks Student Media. She’s in her second year in the program. This year, she hopes to learn more about sports writing and get involved in clubs, drama specifically. As a writer, Terina hopes to improve her own writing. When not writing, she’s probably hanging out with her friends, hiding in room 130, or trying to figure out how chemistry works.
