About Me

Sacha: b) apparently, my ability to write in English is a pretty major bonus for them
Sacha: c) apparently English skills major bonus are, having hired me, for them

BARK PROFILE:
Sacha, whose graceful moves on the dance floor put the swan in "swan lake," served as her Cub Issue copy editor in April 2005, then as Buisness Manager for the fall semester of 2005-06, and as Copy Editor for the spring semester of the same year. She is currently Feature Editor with Leigh, as well as a reporter for the Bark.
Sacha is presently attempting to dance her way to world domination, crushing her opposition with pirouettes of destruction never before seen in this world, which, when combined with knitting skills, a healthy love of caffiene, and the ability to memorize grammar rules, may one day bring her dreams to fruition. She plays piano, can almost play guitar, and sort of fools around on bass, and she sings and strums in her band, in which she is the only blonde Jew.
She also rants in Hebrew a lot.
Sacha hopes to, one day, indoctrinate the masses with her photographic skill, which she will use in conjunction with her Bark experience and intended political science major to push her own agenda all the way to the top.
