Mabel Schrippe, a 16-year-old junior at West Plains High School, job-shadowed Managing Editor Abby Hess, a family friend, Thursday at the West Plains Daily Quill. Schrippe was able to delve into Hess’ work life, and understand the inner workings at the Quill. She said she was immediately intrigued by the amount of organization between Hess and her coworkers. Schrippe decided to job-shadow an editor because formatting reports plays a key role in the career she intends to pursue. She plans to go to college for biochemistry and eventually become a forensic pathologist in a big city. While this dream is far from being accomplished, Schrippe, shown here writing her bio, said she is very excited for the opportunities being presented to her at the present time.
