Lily Galapon is a senior from Charlotte and a 1C2C1D Reynolds warrior braving the Modulars. With a childhood love for weaving and sharing stories, she especially loves to write poetry and write creative fiction. Outside of the Stentorian’s journalistic sphere, Lily loves to dance ballet in any studio she finds, stitch videos of her day into cinematic film-vlogs, daydream on FaceTime with her family, and happens to be an avid matcha drinker. She is delighted to serve as Editor-in-Chief and is looking forward to bridging together stories of the human experience with a positive platform of student journalism. 

Sneha Khetan ’26

Khetan26s@Ncssm.edu

Sneha Khetan is a senior from Charlotte, a proud resident of Fourth Bryan, and a storyteller for as long as she can remember. When she’s not writing (or editing what others have written), Sneha is a self-proclaimed cinephile who loves swimming, baking vegan desserts with her sister, exploring Durham’s restaurants with friends, and keeping her 1,000-day Duolingo streak alive. She’s honored to serve as Editor-in-Chief this year and is committed to making The Stentorian a space where students can be heard, seen, and remembered.

Tejasvi Shirolkar is a senior from Cary, where she attended Green Hope High School. While she serves as a journalist at NCSSM, Tejasvi’s first true love of writing began with poetry. Fun Fact: she used to have an anonymous TikTok account where she wrote poetry about nature! Apart from The Stentorian, Tejasvi is often found curling up in the Fourth Bryan lounge couch, on the tennis court to play late night pickleball, and on nature walks with friends all around Durham. She is honored to serve as Editor-in-Chief of The Stentorian and is looking forward to a thrilling year!

Trinity Tunby ‘26

Tunby26t@ncssm.edu

Trinity Tunby is a senior from New Bern, NC, and a resident of Third Beall. Where her love for writing first began with short diary entries and her D.A.R.E essay, she also enjoys writing and researching poetry (with particular intrigue in the confessional mode), playing trombone, and experimenting with new coffees. As such, you will often find Trinity browsing the shelves at the Regulator, studying in Monuts, or adding to her collection of records at Hunky Dory. She is excited to engage with her role as Editor-in-Chief to shed light on unsung happenings around campus!
