Alexandra Cardwell, Opinions Editor
Hi! I am Alexandra Cardwell. I am a co-Editor of the Opinions section for the 2022-2023 school year. This is my fourth year on staff, and in the past I have been the Sports Editor, an A&E co-Editor, and a staff writer. I love writing about what’s going on in the community, ranging from multilingual students to updates on student-run clubs. In addition to writing, I also love engaging with the school community through photojournalism—whether that be covering theatre or art exhibitions. Outside of school, I row with my team, Twin Cities Youth Rowing Club, play the violin, and read. I can be reached at rubiconline.spa@gmail.com.

![READ-ALOUD. Librarian Cat Mullen's talent would encourage listeners to share her passion. "I feel like my greatest skill is reading. So maybe I would read a dramatic rendition of something...like the book I'm reading now, the new Hunger Games book. I'd make a BookTok and read a very dramatic part but leave it on a cliffhanger so then people would come [to the library]."](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_8226-1200x900.jpg)

![one of my ideas was to make it My Little Pony themed [because] in beats we have four groups and they all produce work different weeks, so we split them into groups. And last year it was Minion-themed, so in my presentation, I wanted to have a little fun thing, so I was just like, ‘Oh, we should do a My Little Pony theme.’ And then, you know, we turned it into the theme of the year. And now we have four groups. We have team Twilight Sparkle. We have team Princess Cadence– is she a princess? Guys, I need to know my My Little Pony better. And then we have team Princess Celestia and team Princess Luna.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Thomas-podcast-photo-1200x900.jpeg)
