Alaisha Singh, Staff Writer

Addicted to watching Grey’s Anatomy (mainly for Dr. Derek Shepherd) and listening to singer-songwriter Clairo, Alaisha Singh is a sophomore staff writer at the Gamut. Aside from maintaining her grades to tip-top shape, Alaisha loves doodling cute characters like Hello Kitty and using her crafting skills to make cute paper flower bouquets for her friends. Speaking of grades, Alaisha’s main goal for this year is to balance school, maintain a 4.0 GPA, and make steps towards becoming news editor for Gamut one day. One of Alaisha’s biggest dreams is to move to NYC (I believe in you!), which is known to be home to a bustling industry of journalism. Out of everything, Alaisha hates pick-me girls the most since she holds a high level of respect for women. Whether through crafts, feminism, or grades, Alaisha is definitely a role model for girls and guys everywhere!
