About Me: Mary Peyton Brown

Hi everyone!

My name is Mary Peyton Brown and I'm a rising senior at Academic Magnet High School in North Charleston, SC. I've only been on my school newspaper one year, as it only started up last year. It's entirely online (amhsnewspaper.com) and I'll be the Editor-in-Chief next year. I came to camp to learn more about journalism, as my school focuses more on core academics, and to find out if I'd like to major in journalism in college. Nowadays, I spend most of time working on my senior thesis blog and running to prepare for the upcoming cross-country season, but I love to look up vegan recipes to try out and read tons of fashion magazines. If I could interview anyone, it would be Stella McCartney, to learn about how she maintains a high-fashion profile while staying true to her ethics by refusing to use animal products in her designs. I'm excited to spend the next few days learning and getting to know everyone!
