Tori Aerni, JagWire editor-in-chief

This is senior Tori Aerni’s third year on the JagWire staff and her second year as an editor-in-chief. She looks forward to spending another year with the JagWire staff and putting out eight eye-catching issues of the paper. Aerni is also involved in NHS, SLT, Student Ambassadors and her church’s youth group outside of the JagWire. She’s a fan of concerts, the Kansas City Royals, chocolate milk and God. Her favorite artists include Taylor Swift, Walk the Moon, The Mowgli’s and pretty much anything on 96.5 The Buzz.
