Hello lovely people! My name is Brea Blay and I am part of this year’s 2025-2026 staff assistant BOE! As a chronic music listener, pop culture addict, as well as a reader and writer, to be able to write articles and collaborate with many other writers is a dream to me! My passion of reading and conversing has led me to join IHOOT to share my love for writing with everyone! Outside of the classroom, I am the secretary for prom committee and a pageant participant. I was Ohio’s Junior Teen Spokesmodel for National American Miss, Academic Achievement runner-up two years in a row, with many more to come! I love communicating and using my voice when possible, and here at IHOOT, you’ll see me doing plenty of that!
