Annabelle Wooster, Editor

Annabelle Wooster is a senior. This is her third year as a member of The Tosa Compass Journalism Program. She writes stories, collects quotes, and takes pictures to be used on the website and social media pages. Her first article was about COVID-19 and its impact on the 2020 Fall Sports Season. She enjoyed writing that story because she is an athlete and she liked listening to what other athletes had to say. Annabelle hopes to pursue a future career related to broadcast journalism because she loves to read and watch the news. Recently Annabelle became involved in production for the TW Today morning announcements where she has enjoyed expanding her skills both in front and behind the camera. Annabelle wants to continue to create content that reaches many different types of people.
