Sophomore Maren Ostrem is a News Editor on the Rubicon. Maren worked as a Staff Writer last year, and this is her first year on staff. She loves journalism because she believes storytelling is powerful and can change lives. When she isn’t writing for The Rubicon, Maren can be found curled up with her sheepadoodle puppy, reading, or watching YouTube. She spends her summers in the Canadian wilderness canoeing and spends the school year participating in theater or playing basketball. A true crime fan, Maren can also be found biking aimlessly around St. Paul listening to crime podcasts. Maren can be reached at rubicon.spa@gmail.com.
