Alyce Brown is the Arts and Entertainment section editor for the Spartan Shield Online. She’s  thrilled to be able to share news from the PV community and the world. In school, she enjoys French and English classes. Last year, she began an internship with Fresh Films to gain journalism and film industry experience and worked first hand in the production of a documentary entitled I Am Able. In her family she has two younger siblings, Sam and Celia. Additionally, she has a cat and dog, named Max and Dutch. By reporting for the Spartan Shield Online, she hopes to be more involved with activities at school and have the opportunity to write about things she’s interested in.
