Taylor Herzlich, Opinion Editor

Taylor Herzlich is a senior at Fordham College at Rose Hill. She is majoring in journalism with a minor in English. Taylor started writing for the Ram her freshman year and she considers it to be one of her best decisions. Joining the Ram helped convince her to pursue her passions and earn a liberal arts degree. This will be her second volume as Opinion Editor, and she could not be more excited to get back to writing and editing.
