I am currently a junior at Slippery Rock University, studying Communication. I have written for Coastal Carolina's student run newspaper, as well as various newsletters and newspapers in/around Pittsburgh, PA. I am a very proud sister of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. When I grow up, I'd love to be a journalist, as well as a trophy wife. But I'll work on that second part later.
