Meet Toni, one of our producers:

Hello there! I’m Toni, a second year English and PBS double major with a penchant for unnecessarily using the thesaurus. When I’m not getting lost on hikes or crying over glitchy audio software, I also serve as the Assistant Opinion Editor, part-time Ikea furniture constructor, and full-time bagel lover. Having joined HOTP halfway through last season, I’m so excited to continue working with such a passionate, dynamic team!
