Leanne Pastore, Editor-in-Chief

Leanne Pastore is a journalism major from Smithtown, New York and the current Editor-in-Chief of Compass News. Pastore has been interested in literature since she was a child, and has enjoyed writing since she was old enough to hold a crayon. After taking 7 years off after graduating high school in 2013, Pastore wanted to push herself and take the next steps in her higher education journey, enrolling in Suffolk’s journalism program, quoting this choice as “the best decision she ever made.” 

Pastore will be the first in her immediate family to graduate college, and plans to attend Stony Brook University to earn her bachelor’s degree in journalism this spring. In her free time, she enjoys taking photos of nature, creative writing, and singing. When she completes her bachelor’s degree, she is unsure of what outlet she would like to write and report for, but wherever she goes, she plans to make an impact.
