When Barbara Norton isn’t editing articles for The Pinnacle—alongside her marvelous, incredible, breathtakingly savvy editors-in-chiefs Julia Burdsall and Viansa Reid— she most likely has her head buried in a thesaurus. Barbara always has her planner within a three-foot radius, and will choose an em dash over a comma any day of the week—they’re so fun to use!  When she isn’t staring dejectedly at her laptop during online school, Barbara enjoys complaining about trashy movies that she secretly enjoys, conspicuously coughing when “Jolene” plays on the radio and admiring her sweater collection. Feel free to contact her if you want to discuss a story idea, complain about the College Board or give Netflix recommendations!
