It’s only 7 a.m? Who could possibly be screaming “So Much Better” from the “Legally Blonde Musical” in the halls? Why, it’s senior Haley Uselman, one of the newest additions to the Hawk Eye staff! Though it is only her first year, Haley is ambitious to begin her work as part of the yearbook and newspaper crew.

When asked why she is taking Scholastic Publications, she stated, “I was interested in the class because I like taking photos, and I’m passionate about the yearbook.” 

After school hours, you can find Haley in the auditorium student directing this year’s play, “The Day The Internet Died.” 

This is her first year directing, but Haley has been involved in the Fall Play since her sophomore year when she played Mrs. Marlowe.

You also may recognize her from playing Portia the dancing fairy in last year’s play “A Second Star.”

When she’s not acting her heart out on stage, Haley can be seen slinging frozen Yogurt at Cowtastic. 

Haley is also passionate about music and musicals. You can always hear her singing a song from a musical, usually “Legally Blonde,” as that is her favorite. She also adores “The Great Gatsby Musical.”

When asked which famous person she would pick to have dinner with, Haley beamed, “Noah J. Ricketts, but only under stage lights, and only as Nick Carraway.”

Once high school is over, Haley wants to major in business, and then go to law school. Although she has not decided which school she wants to attend, her top picks are Clemson University, Elon University, and Wake Forest University. After her years of schooling, she wants to be a lawyer.

But the future is far away, and for now, get ready for some awesome additions to Hawk Eye, and give a warm welcome to Haley Uselman!
