Current junior Alex Paganelli, unlike many high schoolers, does not see herself with an extremely packed extracurricular schedule next year. She hopes this will help get her votes when her fellow juniors take to the polls, as she will have more time to focus on her potential presidency. Despite not planning on having a packed schedule next year, Paganelli still is interested in many things. She is a classically trained musician, as she is a singer, pianist, guitarist, and ukulele player. As president, she would recognize the people who do have saturated schedules, those who do not have time for the advisory boards, who have say in many decisions.
