The Paw

Olivia Breen, Staff Writer

Hello! My name is Olivia Breen. I’m a sophomore this year and my pronouns are she/her. I love all things music, dancing, and baking. My favorite music artist is Red Velvet, my favorite style of dance is jazz, and my favorite thing to bake is cookies! At THS I’m involved in the Tigard Tualatin Student Union, writing stories for The Paw, and cooking up chemical creations (disasters..) in chemistry. When I’m not at school, I enjoy hanging out with friends and working at Summerfield Estates. If I can hear the email notification over my music, feel free to contact me at @[email protected].
