Mark Lussier is a Senior at Terryville High School in Connecticut. He attended WJMC in the summer of 2023 and loved every minute of it! His love for journalism was sparked when he was interviewed by a local reporter when he volunteered for Jahana Hayes’ campaign for Congress in 2018. The unmatched energy and spirit from his color group (Purple Powerhouse!) only made him more excited about possibly joining the profession. Mark is incredibly excited to return to WJMC as an intern. He will strive to make WJMC even more enjoyable, while also giving the same kind of amazing experience to other young aspiring journalists.
