Brooklyn Coble is a 17 year old senior who was born in Burlington, North Carolina. Moving here in her 6th grade year. This is Coble’s third year as a staff of the West Wind and she has thoroughly enjoyed learning more about writing but also getting to work in the social media and photography aspect of it, being on the social media team has made her more outgoing and confident when communicating with others. Before enrolling in the class Coble never really had interest in photography of any kind but once she began covering events she has found a passion in sports photography. This year Cobles goal is to strengthen her writing abilities and become more consistent with posting social media content throughout the whole year, and prepare herself as she hopes to be able to attend the University of North Carolina. 

When asked about her reasoning for joining the West Wind, Coble shared that the TikTok page's “Late Night” video is what first drew her in but she soon learned that she enjoyed the people and community created just as much. 

“I think everybody in our class is nice,” said Coble. “ Everyone talks to each other, and Mrs Saunders is nice.”

Now Coble plays 4 different sports, including: basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track. When asking Coble about her greatest accomplishment she exclaimed saying  

“I’ve been playing varsity sports my whole high school career,” said Coble. “It has really made my experience in high school very memorable but it is tiring.”
