Joey DuBois, Deputy Sports Editor

Joey DuBois joined The Berkeley Beacon in the Spring 2021 semester as the Deputy Sports Editor. Joey has written independently for a few years as a blogger, but his role with the Beacon is his first formal print experience. He was inspired to join the organization to share the stories of unsung athletes, both on campus and in the larger Boston community.
