EXECUTIVE TEAM

Lexi Hardee – MA Publishing

Editor-in-Chief

A Brit born and raised in Hong Kong, Lexi was quickly told that highlighting her favourite parts of library books in Sharpie was not allowed. Thankfully, she’s found her calling in publishing, where this is seen as enthusiasm for literature. At The Bard, Lexi hopes to promotes student creativity and diversity of thinking.
