About the Contributors

Meaghan Wernett, Multi-Media Editor

Junior Meaghan Wernett is excited to lead Omega's venture into broadcasting and media as the publication's Multimedia Editor. When they're not writing or filming for the Omega, you can find Meaghan stage managing a show or building a set in the Clarence Johnson Auditorium. In their free time, they love playing music and woodworking (when they're not calculating their GPA or stalking HAC). If you ever need them to make you a spreadsheet, you can contact them at [email protected].

Avery Pawlak, News Editor

Avery Pawlak, Junior, is stoked to start his first year for Omega as a News editor. Outside of Omega, you can see him leding the baritone section of the Trojan Marching Band, playing trombone in Jazz ensemble, and playing the euphonium in the Wind Ensemble. Outside of school, you can find him driving around in his tiny jellybean of a car blasting music, walking his dogs, or going for a bike ride when the weather permits. If you have any questions for Avery, or want to discuss really cool things like Monkeys or lava, you can reach him at [email protected].

Owen Halfpenny, A&E Editor

Junior Owen Halfpenny is psyched to start his first year for Omega as the A&E editor! Around North, you can find him conducting the Trojan Marching Band or performing with both the Wind and Jazz Ensemble. Outside of school, you can find him driving around town with friends, cheffing it up at home, or showing up the local open mic. If you have any kind of questions or want to argue about Taylor Swift being overrated you can contact him at [email protected] or instagram (owen.halfpennyy).
