Theo da Silveira, Reporter

Theo da Silveira is a Junior at Claremont High School and a second year reporter for the Wolfpacket. In addition to actively writing politics-related articles and pursuing other journalistic interests, he also balances life as a varsity soccer player. One standout high school memory he cherishes is his team’s remarkable win that secured the league championship last year. In true Gen Z fashion, the one thing he insists he can’t live without are his airpods (shockingly). Although he has several commitments to juggle, during his free time he enjoys hanging out with his friends and binge-watching movies. This year, he’s eagerly prepared to write numerous articles for the Wolfpacket, sharing his individual perspective on widely controversial issues.
