Shakia Ludlam
Shakia is a senior at BFA, and this is her second year participating in the Mercury. An avid writer and artist, she saw the opportunity to expand her horizons and connect with like-minded people. She hopes to apply the experiences she’s learned here in her future workplace. In her free time, she does multiple forms of art, including painting and traditional drawing, and one can always find her in the library with her nose in a book. After high school, she plans on taking a gap year and potentially looking for a job at the Messenger in St. Albans.
