Comas began her work on The Mentor her freshman year when she took 21st Century Journalism because of her love for literature, writing and designing. After her semester in 21st Century Journalism, she joined The Mentor staff during her freshman year, continuing in her sophomore year as the Opinions Editor. Comas then became Editor-in-Chief of MHSMentor.com.
“I saw [previous staff members'] drive to do something and I saw an outlet for me to write,” Comas said. “I’m kind of someone who regards myself with a lot of professionalism and I like being somewhere where I was met with other people with the same standard.”
Other than being on staff, Comas is involved in numerous extracurriculars, including Environmental Science Investigations, Student Council, National Honor Society, Quill & Scroll, the Quill & Scroll Student Advisory Board, the Kansas Sunflower Girls State Alumni Association and French Club.
In her spare time, Comas enjoys reading, watching “The Great British Baking Show” and spending quality time with her cats.
