Freshman Lyla Furlong is eager to begin her first year as a reporter on Tatler. After spending her summer wandering around France and Portugal, eating the local food and admiring the art of the cities, Lyla cannot wait to learn about a different kind of art: the art of journalism. If she could read anything for the rest of her life, Lyla would pick up a Harry Potter book because J.K. Rowling is her favorite author. Though Lyla doesn’t play quidditch like Harry Potter, she is very familiar with the tennis courts and has been playing for 10 years. She was even on the St. Mary’s varsity tennis team as an 8th grader. When it comes to her time on Tatler this year, Lyla is looking forward to expanding her writing style and localizing national stories for the St. Mary’s community.
