Hi, I'm Mallory Putnam and I'm a junior this year. This is my first year in SPUB, which I am very excited for all of the new opportunities it brings. I might be joining late, but better late than never. I decided I wanted to be in SPUB this year because I like the idea of writing articles and designing the yearbook for all to see. Other than SPUB, I play soccer and volleyball which takes up a lot of my time. I love to hangout with my friends, go to the lake, ski, and just be outside. I feel lucky to be apart of the SPUB family and I can't wait for what this year brings!
