Ella McCarthy, Section Editor
Hello! My name is Ella McCarthy and I am a senior this year. This is my second year in North Pointe and I am currently a section editor for the reviews pages. I love spending time with my family and watching movies or TV shows. Some of my favorite movies are “The Birdcage,” “The Breakfast Club,” and “The Devil Wears Prada,” and my favorite TV show is “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” I’m also a part of Link Crew, NHS, student council, and Student Association here at North! I also really enjoy painting and listening to music. Some of my favorite artists are Lady Gaga, Tame Impala, Depeche Mode, and Fleetwood Mac.
