Maria Snell-Feikema, Photographer

Maria Snell-Feikema is the Humans of HHS editor, photography editor, and columnist for the Newsstreak. In her free time, she enjoys writing songs, playing uke, reading, doing anything art-related, bike rides, discovering hidden pools on stream hikes, talking with friends, and having free time in itself. To be honest, she may just love too many things to put down in an short list. Although she is very Midwestern, she is incredibly glad that she moved to somewhere actually relevant like Virginia, in 2011.

Maria is a junior and this will be her second year on staff.
