Been a part of The Rotunda for about a year, Spring 2014-2015.
During the summer of 2014 I had the opportunity to travel to Yellowstone for my ENG400, did you know that only 1% of the population gets to actually go there?

Comm Studies Concentration: Organizational Comm and Public Relations
Began writing freshman year for Features, then became Assistant Opinions Editor my sophomore year, now writing news!
I love watching full episodes of Inside the Actors Studio with James Lipton. I could watch them all day. I just like learning about people, their story, what’s happened in their life, and why they think the way they do.
I don’t know exactly what I want to do, however I do know I want to have a career in media and/or event planning, because those are my areas of interest!
