About the Contributors
Morgan Miller, Copy Editor
Morgan Miller is one of the Spartan Shield Online’s Copy Editors and is looking forward to writing for the Spartan Shield because she’s excited to gain real world experience, become a better writer, and learn more about current events. In school, her favorite subjects are English and Spanish; outside of school her favorite extracurricular is running. She has run both track and cross country since 6th grade, saying of running that she likes it because it’s a challenge, and because putting hard work into it pays off. After high school, her goal is to study exercise science at either Luther College or St. Ambrose University. Exercise science focuses mainly on the things that go into preparing your body to perform better, which she is interested in because it fits with her passion for running. At home she has an older sister named Miranda and two cats: Crystal and Crookshanks.
