Cassandra Oppelt, Staff Writer

Hello, my name is Cassandra, but I go by Cassie. I’m a sophomore at Stroudsburg High School, and I moved here from New Jersey this year. I’m excited to be part of the Mountaineer staff this year and to write different stories! I like to ask a lot of questions and see how people react. One of my favorite books is The Great Gatsby or any book from Natasha Preston. I don’t have any exact plans of what I’ll do after I graduate, but I can see myself pursuing a career in writing.
