Amanda Quintela, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Hi, my name is Amanda, I’m a senior, and this is my third year in The CHAT. I am this year’s Arts and Entertainment editor, and I’m so excited for the series of pop culture moments to come in 2025! I love doing CrossFit, writing, listening to music, and watching romcoms. I can’t wait to see what senior year holds for me! If you need to contact me, you can email me at [email protected].
