Elizabeth Kortum, Staff Writer
Elizabeth Kortum grew up in Ethiopia before coming to the U.S at the age of six. Once she graduated elementary school, she went off to Pershing Middle School, where she had found her interest in writing. Whether it was answering a prompt, or using her own head to come up with a story, Elizabeth enjoyed writing a lot. She is currently a sophomore at Lamar High School. This year will be her first year being a part of the Lamar Life Staff. Since she is interested in writing, Elizabeth hopes to be doing a lot of it while being a part of this team. Besides writing, Elizabeth is equally passionate about photography, and sports (basketball). While being on this team, Elizabeth wants to be able to put out important information that will inform and or persuade the audiences.
