Colin Brake, Editor-at-large

Colin Brake is a senior English Lit major who served as the Editor-in-Chief of The Paladin in Fall 2023. When not tending to his taxing Editor-at-Large duties of making merchandise, redirecting emails to Audrey, or reading the new issue of The Paladin in Trone alluringly so that others are enticed to pick it up, he is probably hunkered down in the library working on his undergrad thesis or coming up with impractical ideas for how to spend his postgrad decades. He declines comment about his postgrad plans at this time.
