Staff Profile
Natalie Chevalier –– Staff Writer
Natalie Chevalier is the definition of the bomb diggity. Many don’t know that she’s actually a top secret agent for the European country of Genovia named Elise Salt. (She told you, now she has to kill you.) She was raised to be an elite-level spy for their government, trained by none other than Jackie Chan himself. When Elise turned 15, she was sent on her first big mission to the United States, going under an alias: Natalie Chevalier, American sophomore student at Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Her mission is extremely exciting and dangerous. You know you want to know what it is… but it is classified information. In her free time she enjoys participating in intense martial arts and complicated sports, to show off her highly advanced coordination skills. She’s also an extraordinary singer, and has been banned from American Idol due to her superior singing expertise. “Natalie Chevalier” is basically what everyone strives to be.

Rave: Acoustic covers

I absolutely love acoustic covers, especially when they’re of well-known pop songs. If you already love a song to begin with, hearing a mellow acoustic version of it just gives you an incentive to love it even more. The best is even discovering an acoustic cover of a rap song, like Ed Sheeran’s mashup... Read more »

Like everyone else, I love having free time, but during the hectic school year getting a break after a stressful day seems impossible.
