Marcus Walsh
he/him/his
I’m Marcus Walsh, a senior at Saint Joseph High School. This is my first year on the Wind-up staff and I'm eager to write. Theater is a big part of my life both on and off stage with the school's theater program and Twin City Players. After high school, my plan is to attend Western University to study art education. I believe journalism is important even on smaller scales because everyone deserves the right to information about the world around them.
