About the Contributors
Ramya Subramaniam, Student Life Editor
Senior Ramya Subramaniam is the Student Life Editor for the Spartan Shield. Ramya is a student council enthusiast and spends most of her time serving as an executive member on Spartan Assembly, the First Vice President on the Iowa Association of Student Councils and a member on the National Association of Secondary School Principals Student Leadership Advisory Committee. Apart from student council, Ramya plays on the varsity girls tennis team and is a Gold Award Girl Scout. Aside from her activities, she enjoys spending time with her family and traveling. After high school, Ramya plans to go to a four year university to study electrical engineering.
Beth Mooy, Infographic Manager
Senior Beth Mooy is the Infographic Manager for the Spartan Shield and is ready to make amazing infographics this semester. Mooy spends her time singing in Chamber Choir, cheering for the Spartans and driving to Kansas City to see her cousins. She occasionally enjoys her job working at Whitey’s Ice Cream, and finds pleasure in running every day even less, although she does them both each day with a positive attitude. You can find Mooy watching her all-time favorite movie, Knives Out, or her favorite TV show, Chuck, both of which she highly recommends. She loves caffeine and Raising Cane’s, but she is also trying to spend less money and be healthy. While still undecided about future academic plans, she is beyond excited for the upcoming year where she will move in with her cousin/best friend, Theresa, in Kansas City, MO.
