Tegenn Jeffery, Editor-in-Chief

Tegenn Jeffery is a senior at HBHS and has been writing for Slick for what feels like a dozen centuries, but in reality is merely three years. When not Editor-in-Chiefing, Jeffery primarily writes movie reviews, but occasionally stumbles haphazardly into the realm of news and politics and hopes to attend the University of Exeter for English and Film Studies.
