Elisha Scott, managing editor
(she/her)
Elisha Scott is a senior and a fourth year staff member for The Shield. This is her third year on the editorial staff and her second year as managing editor. Scott moved to Austin from Fort Worth, TX right before her freshman year in fall of 2018. Her favorite pieces to write are the new teacher exposés at the beginning of the year, and she enjoys photographing rallies, tennis, and spirited Mac events. Her favorite part of MacJ is working on her stories and spending time with the staff (especially getting ‘the skinny’ from co-editors Grace & Evelyn) at late knights. Scott loves art, science, her friends & family, pets, and traveling, as well. She loves the Texas Longhorns (Hook ‘em) where her sisters attended. She can’t wait to continue on the staff for her last year of high school and learn what it takes to be a journalist under the guidance of Mr. Winter and her fellow staff.
