Layla Mickelson, Entertainment Editor

Hi there! My name is Layla and this is my third year on Echo. I’m a senior and I am the Entertainment editor this year! When I am not drinking matcha or eating some pho, you can find me hanging out with my friends, snowboarding or running cross country. I love being a part of Echo and I can’t wait to work with this new group of staffers!
