Bernadette Whitely, Editor-in-Chief | Creative Director | In-Depth Editor
Hey, I’m Bernadette and I’m a senior! I’m the Editor-in-Chief and the Creative Director of The Spectrum. I also edit In-Depth pages. In the past, I have edited both Arts and Culture and Opinions sections. Last semester, I was the editor and leader for the Features section. I started Spectrum at the beginning of my freshman year and continued to be a staff writer until the end of my sophomore year. During my time as a staff writer, I wrote articles, created graphics, and took photos. Since starting Spectrum, I have always loved it. Being able to write about topics I am passionate about and interested in was an amazing experience. One of my favorite things about Spectrum is talking to and meeting new people through interviews and collaborations.
![Spencer Okoronkwo '22 shares his thoughts on the inauguration, "I'm feeling glad that Donald Trump...is going to leave, he's done, he's over. Unless he comes back. But I'm kind of scared for all the events that might happen at certain capitals around the country... [which] I've heard is going to happen. I know that there might be [an event] here in Minnesota, so I'm just nervous for that and what there might be considering that Trump supporters are wild, crazy, [and] different. But, I'm hoping for the best and I hope it goes smoothly."](https://www.blakespectrum.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Spencer-Okoronkwo-22--675x900.jpg)
