Nora Bitar is a senior and the Managing Editor for The Tower. Her favorite type of articles to write are music reviews — which she can’t wait to do more of this year. She also loves writing campus-focused articles about current and relevant issues the community faces. In school this year, her favorite subjects are history and psychology. Outside of school, she enjoys listening to Taylor Swift, binge-watching shows (one of her favorites is The Good Place), as well as watching soccer and tennis with her family. She is also a big foodie, and adores Italian, Japanese, and Mexican food, among a wide variety of other cuisines. Nora can’t wait for a great year!
