Lily Comba (2016)
Business Manager

With over five years of journalism experience, Lily began working for The Scripps Voice as Design Editor her first semester at Scripps in 2012. Since attending Scripps, her passion for design has expanded into advertising, making her current position as Business Manager the perfect fit. When she's not balancing budgets while soaking up her beloved SoCal sun (she's a native Claremontier, born and raised only seven minutes from campus), Lily can be found gawking over anything having to do with cats, painting her nails, or reading the next best novel.

jocelyn D. gardner (2017)
webmaster

While it has not always been the most central facet of her life, Jocelyn is very committed to raising awareness of and being an advocate for social justice issues, specifically relating to mental health, an issue she believes is dangerously misunderstood and overlooked. She is a dual Art and Philosophy major from central New Jersey. She plays guitar and bass, writing her own music. The rest of her time outside class is spent on art (mostly drawing and painting), working at The LASPA Center and  doing research relating to mental health. 

Jocelyn is also the Mental Health Columnist for the Voice.

Abbey Gilcrest (2019)
Design Editor

Abbey took her first Graphic Design course in high school and fell in love with design editing. She is new to both the campus and the newspaper business, and is excited to finally begin pursuing her journalistic dreams in a college setting. When she isn't working on layouts, she's studying; when she's not studying, she's playing trombone in the Jazz Band and Orchestra; when she isn't playing, she's working at the Denison Library; when she isn't doing any of those things, she, theoretically, eats and sleeps. Her major is currently undecided, but she hopes to study English, FGSS, and (ideally) the history of Middle Earth. 

Jenny Lee (HMC 2019)
Design Editor

Though she's had four years of designing for her high school magazine, Jenny is at heart a math and science loving nerd. She is an adventure-seeking that is interested and excited to do pretty much everything from drawing to singing to skateboarding around Mudd. You can find her work on the center Spotlight spreads for each issue.
