Audrey Payne is a sophomore at Johnson High School and is a first year writer for MyJagNews. To cope with the disappointment of not receiving a Hogwarts acceptance letter, Audrey joined band, where she turns her demolished hopes and dreams into magical flutery. As copy editor, she attacks grammatical errors in stories with a vengeance, making it her goal to educate humanity on the importance of proper grammar. She enjoys mint chocolate chip ice cream, novels longer than 300 pages, and swimming pools with a deep end so she can do her award-winning cannonball. When she's not correcting other people's spelling and punctuation, you can find her cuddled up with her box set of Harry Potter books and a steaming cup of hot cocoa with the little marshmallows on top.
