Claire Boma, Managing Editor

Claire Boma is a senior and managing editor for Le Journal. When not at school you can find her reading in bed or bugging her parents. Claire loves to travel but has no specific dream destination in mind. She has an unhealthy obsession with goldfish and her favorite flavors are rainbow (yes they are a flavor) and cheddar blasted. Her unpopular opinion is that school subjects do not have colors.
