Ila Allen
I am a senior at St. Francis DeSales in Columbus, Ohio. I have been a member of my school’s publication The Quill since sophomore year, and I currently serve as an editor and social media manager of our Instagram page. This is my first year serving on the OSMA board, and I am beyond honored and excited to be a part of this organization. I am involved in several activities outside of journalism including student council, NHS, French NHS, and set crew. I am the founder and president of my school’s Film Club. I do a lot of volunteer work- particularly with kids or the poor. I also work as a Café Attendant at a country club. I am the oldest of four (currently 16, 11, and 7). In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, playing video games, collecting trinkets, traveling, watching movies and tv, and spending time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to seeing what this year has in store!
