Hi! I'm Pieter "Petey" de Brauw (they/them), a sophomore at Montgomery Blair High School. This is my first year on Silver Chips Online, and I am a junior writer. Outside of journalism, I do theater and stage crew at Blair, practice creative writing, bake and cook, and read. I often spend my free time at rehearsal, spending time with my friends, or workshopping my recipes.
