Miriella Jiffar is a fourth year double majoring in English and Cognitive Science, and minoring in French. When she’s not in the Iris office, you can usually find her doing yoga, swimming, spending time with friends, or reading in the cozy window seat at La Maison Française. Fun fact, the thesis she’s currently writing for the English Department’s Distinguished Majors Program was inspired by a piece she wrote for Iris during her second year!
