Amber Milesi is currently a senior and a second-year staff writer for El Estoque. As a vegan, she spends a lot of time cooking and baking delicious creations. In her free time, she likes long naps in the sun with her cat or hunting in the kitchen for snacks, especially chocolate bars and ice cream. She also loves traveling to different counties as long there is snow like Germany or Switzerland.
