Jacqueline McMahon is a freshman at Fossil Ridge High School and this is her first year on the Etched In Stone staff. She took journalism as an alternative to traditional English classes and enjoyed the freedom it offered so much that she joined Journalism II the next semester. Outside of journalism, she enjoys math and art. She goes to Art Club and most enjoys pottery because she can “shape it into anything.”

McMahon grew up in Fort Collins with her older brother and sister. Her main hobby is dance, which she has done since she was two years old. Her best and favorite dance style is tap, but she also enjoys contemporary. Her favorite shows include “Gilmore Girls” and “Dance Moms”.

Looking toward the future, McMahon wants to attend either University of Colorado Boulder or Florida State University to become a teacher. Her goal is to teach middle school. McMahon wants to live in Florida because of the years her family vacationed there along with the warm weather and beaches. 

McMahon’s main goal this semester is to expand her writing with articles on a variety of topics. She also looks forward to interviewing people, as it is one of her favorite parts of journalism.
