Mairin Torgerson, Photography Editor-in-Chief

My name is Mairin Torgerson and I am the senior editor in chief of photography for the Pony Express this year. I am a part of the Stillwater fastpitch softball program, play piano, and love baking and cooking. I have one dog, but really wish I had more, and a sister (who I don't wish I had more of). After high school, I hope to go to college at Northwestern or the U of M, and explore a career in business or maybe something new.
