Jillian Snodgrass is a junior from Meridian, MS. They are very excited to express themself through writing for The Vision. Outside of school, they enjoy drawing and painting, blasting their favorite music loudly enough to cause hearing damage and participating in outdoor activities such as kayaking and cycling. Jillian isn’t yet sure what they want to do after high school, but they have always loved design and history so a career in restoration architecture is high on the list.
