McKenna Scherer, Editor-in-Chief
McKenna Scherer (she/her/hers) is the Editor-in-Chief of The Winonan as of spring 2021 and continues to write news stories and photograph. Scherer previously held the position of News Editor after having been both a features and news reporter in prior years.
Scherer is in her fourth year at Winona State University, majoring in Mass Communication: Journalism and double minoring in Public Relations and Film Studies.
Besides her duties at The Winonan, Scherer also works at a local restaurant and is active in area activism, often through the WSU Students for Reproductive Justice club, whom she often photographs events for after helping start the club in the spring of 2020. In her free time, Scherer enjoys reading, binging TV shows – primarily from creator Shonda Rhimes – and movies, hanging out with her four roommates and thrifting; she has a thing for knick-knack-y vintage items and t-shirts.
Scherer hopes to move to the Minneapolis or Chicago area after graduation to work in broadcast or print journalism, or for a PR firm focusing on social media content, campaigns and/or influencer collaborations.
