Bareen Abdulrahman, Section Editor of Opinions
In her fourth year as a Chatterbox staff member, Bareen Abdulrahman is excited to work as the Section Editor of Opinions. She hopes to balance the bias shown in both her and her section members’ articles throughout the year and increase the readership of the Opinions page.
Abdulrahman took News Writing 1 and 2 before News Production, and has been in News Production for the past two years.
Throughout her high school career, Abdulrahman has attempted to take advantage of any leadership and involvement opportunities, leading her to have a variety of extracurriculars. She is a student ambassador, a representative in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion council, the Marketer of the Muslim Student Association, a member of the Poetry Slam team and a violin player in the Senior Orchestra.
Abdulrahman hopes to attain a career that allows her to utilize all the skills she has to offer and broaden both her views and her abilities.
Abdulrahman enjoys any hobby she tries out including painting, knitting and crocheting, doing henna designs and making jewelry. She also enjoys learning about her Kurdish culture and visits Kurdistan during the summer.
