Danielle Pritchard is a senior at NCHS, and is looking forward to her second year on the Central Times’ Editorial board. While intrigued by nearly everything, she has yet to choose a career path. With interest in the arts, writing, design, justice, and STEM, she tends to shift from hobby to hobby, and panic when asked to make decisions. Hopefully she’ll figure herself out by the time she has to adult.
