Meet Our Editorial Team
Mia Seisun - Head Editor
I am a Third Year student studying a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney. I am passionate about all things politics and history, with particular interests in the American political scene and anything ancient. I have always loved writing, how it provides an outlet for my thoughts and ideas and a means of self-expression. I have seen first-hand the power of student journalism in developing and strengthening community and identity and, considering our political moment, I feel strongly that platforms like Drew’s News, which encourage independent thinking and genuine discussion, are increasingly important. I am so pleased to be leading the team this year and can’t wait to work with my fellow editors to solidify and strengthen Drew’s News as a pillar of the College community.
A final note to the prospective contributor. I know that, no matter the subject, to write is to be vulnerable. It’s daunting. But, I also know that to write is to be heard. We have all been given voices, why not use them?
Atlanta Gervasoni - Editor
I’m Atlanta, a second-year residential student this year at Drew’s from Melbourne. To me, words and language are immensely powerful tools with the ability to variously convey ideas, aesthetics and emotions, to connect people and transcend boundaries, and to embody immense beauty. A veneration for the written word has permeated and punctuated my nineteen years; creative writing, read-a-thons, debating, oration, and now a Law/Arts degree at university. Drew’s News provides an exciting student-led forum for the exchange of opinions, talents, knowledge and beauty. This year I am particularly excited for the workshops we plan to run for potential contributors as we continue to expand our eclectic and diverse range of publications.
Sam Singleton - Editor
I’m Sam, a second year Commerce/ Law student at UNSW. Hailing from Perth, I have had a passion for written art of all forms since for as long as I can remember. I have seen the impact it can have on people’s lives, and the beauty it can bring, both for writer and reader. Most of my passion is funnelled towards poetry, however I’m excited to see what we can do in all areas of creative writing. This year I’m keen to get Freshers involved, getting their work shown to an audience, and demonstrating the plethora of talents we have at St Andrew's.
Lucy Millar - Editor
I’m a third year USYD student studying a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Laws majoring in History, and in my second year at St Andrew’s. I have a firm passion for writing and always have, and I see it as a form of ‘current’ history or history ‘in the making’ as one’s entire mosaic of life experience ultimately shapes every word they put to paper. In 2025 I’m excited to develop initiatives that cultivate and expand access to all styles of writing, shifting the general perspective that writing for a news page is extremely formal and has to be perfect. I want to encourage students to express their genuine opinion without anxiety or fear of judgment and display how enriching and rewarding writing can be, both in a personal and socially meaningful way.
