Humans of Ann Arbor
“Scuba diving is what made me first get into marine biology. I went scuba diving for the first time in Lake Michigan. First, we had to put tons of gear on. We had to waddle across the road, go down some steps, and then walk into the lake. It was really cold, but my first breath underwater was really surreal. You don’t know what’s going on, you’re like ‘I’m breathing underwater!’ It’s just really amazing. One time we did a shark dive, and they had three tuna heads that they put in this cage, and then they opened the cage, and there were suddenly forty sharks. But I feel kind of invincible when I have a wet suit on.”
Roxie is a senior at Community High and this is her third year on Communicator staff. When not at school, you can find Roxie hunched over her laptop at a coffee shop working on one of many passion projects, at a political meeting, event or rally, or taking a much-needed nap in her super comfy bed. She enjoys watching stand-up comedy, the news, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Veep, and Dance Moms — an eclectic mix that perfectly captures her essence. Roxie is so grateful to have one more year on Communicator and looks forward to working with the incredible staff to create meaningful work!
