Ardyn Lessner, The Charge Staff Writer

Ardyn is a sophomore at Emerson High School, who currently serves as a Staff Writer for her first year on the Charge. She has prior experience writing articles, fiction, and short stories, but she aims to develop her skills even more. Ardyn has been the subject of news articles herself with her aerial circus performances, which she enjoys practicing outside of writing. She also loves dancing, and is on the Emerson Majestics Drill Team, as well as leading the literary team on Emerson's Literary-Art Magazine. Her cats are her fur babies, and often cuddle her when she's taking some well needed alone time at home.
