Chloe Girod, Editor-in-Chief

Chloe Girod is a third-year staffer as well as the Editor-in-Chief of The Muse. She thrives off validation and can often be an absolute fool when stressed, but she tries to maintain a positive outlook in all aspects of her life. She loves to challenge people and their ideas, including herself, which can spark a few controversial discussions. She has a weird obsession with kids shows like “Boss Baby” as well as “Phineas and Ferb” for their childish humor. She strives to delve into all journalism topics while keeping a special place for her old Entertainment section in her heart as well as focus on her graphics and page design. One day she hopes to be her own boss, baby. Until then, she’s just prepping for the future and praying her semi-decent SAT scores get her into college. This will be her final year on the staff, which she looks back on with happy memories and love.
