Harris Keekley, Writer

Howdy, my name is Harris Keekley and this is my second year on Echo. If I'm not locked in the pub, I’m either running, swimming or sleeping. I also enjoy being overly competitive in video games or just hanging with friends. I’m super excited to be on staff and am really looking forward to seeing how we manage this school year!
