Olivia (Liv) Frey is the Editor-in-Chief and Opinion Editor of North Star News. Ever since joining NSN her freshman year, she has grown a deeper love of the work done by journalists and the impact journalism has on society. In her free time, she enjoys reading, watching basketball, and hanging out with friends, and in the future wants to go into the legal field.
