Ella Norton, Editor-in-Chief

Hello! My name is Ella Norton and I am the co-editor-in-chief of the Dart. This is my third year on the paper and I love it with all my heart. When I’m not in the pub room working on some story or finishing a spread, you can usually find me hanging out with friends, driving to various places in Kansas, watching Tik Toks, messing around on Photoshop or doing extensive research on niche topics. I love music, politics, tea, That 70’s Show and advocating for social issues. I cannot wait for this next year on Dart and all the cool things we are going to do. Au revoir!
