Shivani Radhakrishnan, LNN Executive Producer
Senior Shivani Radhakrishnan has often been described as a bouncing ball of energy. She can at any time be found with her nose in a book or with earbuds in her ears. When she’s not fully immersed in a book or sampling new music, she enjoys baking, reading up on politics, knitting, doing makeup, or working on one of her many extracurricular activities. She juggles schoolwork, her position as a debate team captain, LNN Executive producer, and the NHS president, so she has no shortage of work, but her peppy attitude and an infinite pool of energy keep her going–no caffeine necessary. After joining the Leopard Life staff in eighth grade, she stuck with newspaper production through her sophomore year as a staff writer. Her freshman year, she found broadcast journalism and fell in love. The equipment, the editing, and the interviews all coming together to tell someone’s story was beautiful to her, and soon enough, four years on staff flew by. After nearly five years of journalism, she is ready to take on the year as an Executive Producer along with her partner in crime, Jackie Carroll.
