Anayla Thompson is a Senior who loves fashion, sewing and making clothes, putting on makeup, getting her hair done, and “badazeling” things. She has a passion for writing and wished for that to be her job for most of her childhood, but with the introduction of generative AI she was forced to put that dream behind her. But she still needed a creative outlet, so she turned to journalism.

She has done cheerleading since she was seven years old and became the captain of the cheerleading team at New Hartford Senior High School. She now dreams to attend MVCC for their Oneonta plan to become an elementary teacher, then plans to travel the world and settle down on the Italian coast.
