Carmon Baker, Web Editor

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Dart! My name is Carmon Baker. I am a senior and third-year staffer, as well as web editor for the second year. Outside of newspaper, I enjoy listening to music and taking photos with my friends. I also have a new puppy, LuLu, who I am slightly obsessed with, and I love spending time with her. This year, I am looking forward to expanding our online presence as a publication and being creative with my coverage. I am super excited for my final year on staff, and I hope that you enjoy our work this year!
