Her hobbies include ice cream making, walking  around barefoot, and enjoying nature. For her, this WordPlay week has been a pleasant surprise. Nanie Gatekeeper A quiet soul and lady of few words, Nanie is  the perfect fit for the role of Gatekeeper. Nothing gets past her quiet concentration and she has a knack for  making sure any project she oversees, remains productive and orderly. She also has an eye for layout and graphic design that is second to none. Max Photo Editor Max's love for photography began after he viewed an amazing video on Youtube, directed by Freddie Wong. Since then Max has acquired a flip camera and a Canon 60d digital camera, and has been filming and directing his own videos. His dream is to one day own the legendarily expensive Red Camera!! Amanda Visiting Photo Editor As visiting photo editor from the North Side of Chicago, Amanda also loves photography, and is saving up for a camera of her own. Next summer she will be traveling to Europe, where she'll hopefully shoot some great pictures. In addition, she's a living breathing soccer nut!! Mona Copy Editor No one has a sharper eye than Mona. An avid reader and writer of fantasy fiction, Mona knows a thing or two about a well-placed word and  precise punctuation.
