Olivia McDougal is a first-year copy editor on The Tower. She said she was inspired to join after The Tower visited her class in middle school, as she had already “really liked journalism and writing.” McDougal was especially inspired to become a copy editor to try something new. This year, McDougal’s favorite class is Latin because of the “people in (the class) and (her) teacher.” When she’s not writing or working on schoolwork, McDougal enjoys visiting her lake house to go boating and paddleboarding. However, her favorite vacation was her trip to Washington DC with her dad and sister. McDougal also loves to spend time playing with her two cats, Mocha and Latte. According to McDougal, her “mom is obsessed with Starbucks and begged (her) sister and (McDougal)” to name the cats after coffee.
