About the Writers
Mira Simonton-Chao, Website Editor-in-chief
Mira is a senior at Community High School and has been on staff for the last four years. She loves writing and The Communicator but also really hates writing staff profiles. She is passionate about American cultural studies, music and living the most vibrant and expressive life she possibly can. She also loves traveling and cooking yum food.
Ethan Gibb-Randall, Journalist
Ethan Gibb-Randall is a senior at Community and is in his fourth year on staff. He spends most of his class time making or helping others create videos and other multimedia for the website. Ethan doesn’t have much free time because he spends almost every day rowing on the Huron River, but on the off chance he’s not there, he enjoys cooking, hiking, reading and overanalyzing movies.
Isaac McKenna, Print Editor-in-chief
Isaac McKenna is a Print Editor-in-Chief for The Communicator and has been on staff for all but one semester of high school. He loves designing, writing op-eds and drinking way too much coffee. In his free time, he plays guitar in several local bands at festivals and shows around Ann Arbor; sometimes he loses his voice screaming at his friends’ concerts. 2019 marks Isaac’s discovery of the importance of corduroys and pinstripes despite his inability to decide on an outfit in the morning.
Sacha Verlon, Opinion Editor
Sacha Verlon is in his third year on staff for the Communicator. He has an attention span of one minute and is Literati Coffee’s biggest fan. Verlon enjoys playing guitar and using his musical skills as a means to procrastinate doing his homework. He loathes the cold and hopes to go to college somewhere warmer, possibly in California. You can find him zipping around Ann Arbor on his red Vespa.
