Delaney Brooks, Features Editor

Delaney is a junior in her third year with The Purple Tide. She’s thrilled to edit the features section this year and plans to pursue journalism as a career. When she’s not writing articles or working on broadcast segments for The Knightly News, Delaney’s probably listening to Green Day, Dear And The Headlights or some other alternative band. You may also find her up in the air on the aerial silks, dance trapeze or lyra.

Disabilities of the physical variety (red), intellectual and developmental (gold), invisible or undiagnosed (pale grey), mental illnesses (blue) and Sensory (green) are all represented by a stripe on the flag.
