Hey! My name is Jake and I am a senior! This is my fourth year on the Digest staff and second as Copy Editor. I am a member of the City of Chattanooga Mayor’s Youth Council, head delegate of Central’s Southeastern High School Model United Nations (SHSMUN) team, and colorguard captain for the Central Sound of Chattanooga marching band. I plan on attending the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to major in Journalism with a focus of radio and television and minor in Music Business in hopes of one day having a large career in the music industry.
