Stephanie Lyn (12) is the Open Canvas Manager for the Bulldog Times, and this is her 2nd year on staff. Stephanie hopes to grow as a writer to help engage students towards the art of writing. She looks forward to seeing how journalism grows as a publication as editors and staff writers work together as a collective body. In addition to being the Open Canvas Manager, she is also the vice president of Outreach for Christ. As someone who puts her identity in Christ, she wants to reflect His love towards others. In her free time, she loves creative writing, reading, listening to music—particularly Taylor Swift, and hanging out with friends and family.
