Jersey Phippen, Staff Writer
Jersey Phippen is a sophomore at Atlantic High School and has been in journalism for almost a year. Her after school sports involve volleyball, track, soccer, competitive dancing, and of course, journalism. She works at the YMCA swimming pool as a lifeguard and at Dance Atlantic. During her free time, she likes to tumble, work out at the YMCA, watch shows, and online shop. She has five brothers, one sister, and one dog. What made Phippen interested in journalism was when two upperclassmen told her that they liked taking pictures and writing stories for AHS Needle. Her favorite part of journalism is being able to partner up with others, taking pictures at basketball games and viewing the eye of the needle website. Phippen is also very excited to continue learning about podcasts.
