Our Staff

Ben Connolly

Creative Director, PZ ’26

Ben is a truly masterful creative director of The Outback Newsprint Magazine. He has brought a spark to the artistic side of what is commonly seen as words on paper. Connolly brings your imagination to life.

Willa Umansky

Editor-in-Chief, PZ ’27

Willa loves writing and friends. You can find her at the Hub or the Grove House—there’s no in between. She likes to write about herself, and even when she writes fiction, she writes about herself, and she’ll even write about writing about herself. Just ask, she’ll write about it.

Rhyus Goldman

Creative Director, PZ ’26

Rhyus Goldman is a truly dedicated member of The Outback. As the head of layout and co-creative director, Goldman is always jumping to get involved. Whether it be formatting the next magazine, getting an interview, or helping out with illustrations.

Ginny O’Marah

Head of Graphics, SC ’28

Ginny is a big-sunglass-sporting Boston baddie! After being thrust into her role as head of graphics she took it on ever so gracefully. O’Marah is organized, reliable, a leader, a brilliant artist, and cool as hell.

Vivian Simon

Creative Editor, SC ’28

She is shockingly a fake blonde, but thankfully, she is a real writer. Editor extraordinaire, Vivian Simon, knows her way around poetry and prose like it’s the back of her hand.

Oliver Schoening

Opinions Editor, PZ ’27

Luca Rudenstine

Social Media, PZ ’26

Luca is the reason you see all our amazing social media content! She is the re-imagination the Instagram needed and very much on top of our social clout.

Eli Heart

Resident Artist, PZ ’26

Eli is the aesthetic imagination of the Outback, responsible for many of our covers. If you see anything so beautiful you almost drop your copy, that’s him!
