Emily Mahaffy, Eastside Features Editor

Hello! My name is Emily Mahaffy. I am a senior and currently one of the features editors for Eastside. When I’m not at school, you can usually find me on the Cooper River as a coxswain for South Jersey Rowing Club. I enjoy rowing, my classes and activities at East, and spending time with my friends and family.
