Lily Prather, staff reporter
Lily Prather is a senior and first-year staffer on The Shield . She joined Mac J just out of curiosity, however she stayed because of the wonderful family that it created. Her passion for writing grew as she wrote stories on student life and feature profiles for local McCallum bands. She hopes to continue writing for a while and maybe take on as an English major in college. Prather can be found in just about any coffee shop in Austin, listening to ROLEMODLE and The Weeknd, two of her favorite artists. She loves rainy days and ones that can be spent with her friends that are now family. Prathers favorite part of Mac J is the community and of course Mr. Winter, he cares about the program so much it inspires you as well. Prather is excited to see what this year will bring and knows that whatever it is, it will be interesting.
