Halie Leland, News Editor
Halie Leland is a sophomore and a first-year member of The Owl staff. Though she adores sports as an avid skier, volleyball player, and black belt in karate, she has always had a love for writing. By joining The Owl Halie hopes to develop her writing skills further and explore journalism. Her main topics of interest include opinion, news, and feature stories. Although she now enjoys hiking and kombucha, Halie is not a Boulder native. Having grown up in New Mexico gives her an outsider’s perspective on this quirky place we live in, as well as an addiction to green chile. When she’s not working out, serving up aces, or teaching little martial artists, you can find Halie out in nature, reading novels, or cooking up a storm. And finally, aside from large amounts of popcorn and Justin’s cups (exclusively the dark chocolate peanut butter ones), her favorite snack has got to be the beautiful, delicate, highly superior, green grape.
