I’m a junior studying journalism and mass communications at George Washington University. I live in a small town in East Tennessee and have a younger brother and sister. My job working at D.C.’s second oldest newspaper, the GW Hatchet as a news editor, is one of my favorite things about Washington. In my free time, I enjoy dancing with GW’s student ballet group and volunteering with the GW Chapter of Circle K International.
