Hannah Crooks is a senior and feature editor for the Black & White. She is involved in Innovation show choir, Cantus, tennis, Student Council, National Honor Society, and cross country, though sloths run faster than she does. She enjoys eating cereal, looking at pictures of cute animals, and browsing Buzzfeed for the latest Harry Potter-related quizzes. More often than not, she is quoting, "The Office," or, "Napoleon Dynamite." After high school, she intends to go to college and pursue a career in marketing or becoming a music producer (because those two things are really similar, right?)
