As I said before, my name is Xander Noel, and I am a journalism student at Keene State, but there is so much more to my story.

I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, where I developed a love for reading and writing, while also spending much of my time involved in sports and staying active.

I brought all of those passions with me to Keene State, where I continue to write for The Equinox, play rugby for the school, train Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the club, and spend any remaining time outdoors exploring and fishing.

I strive for excellence in everything I do and continue to look for opportunities to grow as a journalist and storyteller.
