Bareen Abdulrahman, Editor in Chief
After spending five years as a member of The Chatterbox staff, Bareen Abdulrahman, ’26, values the experiences she gained through serving as Features Section Editor, Managing Editor of Current Events, Opinions Section Editor, and Editor-In-Chief.
Abdulrahman learned the value of coaching and fostering growth in others, and the importance of maintaining a healthy staff culture over pushing for perfect results. She is also proud to leave The Chatterbox as a confident interviewer, writer and leader, the person she strived to become way back in 7th grade.
After discovering her love for Anatomy and Physiology her SENIOR year, Abdulrahman decided to major in Medical Sciences at the University of Cincinnati, excited to continue exploring different classes and activities for years to come.
Above all else, Abdulrahman is incredibly thankful for every individual who guided her to become her best self at WHHS, and hopes that she can have the same impact on the people around her throughout her life.
