Loraine Sanchez-Figueroa – CHAT News

Loraine Sanchez-Figueroa, Columns Editor

Hey lovies! My name is Loraine (Lora) and I’m the columns & copy editor of the CHAT this year! I’m currently a junior, and I’ve been writing since I was about six years old. This is my second year in the CHAT, and a cool thing about me is that I was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico! I’m open to getting to know everybody, so don’t be afraid to contact me at: [email protected] or on Instagram @lorainesf_!
