Carmela Drossman-Schlossberg, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Carmela, and I am so excited to be one of the editors-in-chief for The Chariot. I have been writing for The Chariot for years, and I am so excited to continue working on our amazing paper while making sure everyone’s stories are shared! I am currently a senior, and outside of our paper, I enjoy listening to music and am a math tutor and a volunteer at my temple.
