Silver linings of my time in quarantine

I am a Media and Communications major with a concentration in Multimedia Publishing and a minor in French. I grew up in Baltimore, MD and when I moved to Glenside for college, I fell in love with Philadelphia and moved to the area permanently in the summer of 2020. When I was younger, I spent all my time reading and writing. I knew when picking a college major that I wanted a large component of my studies to be building upon my writing skills.

At Arcadia, I have been on staff at Loco Mag for three years, becoming an Editor in Chief for my senior year. I am also a tutor at the LRN and the LRN liaison to the Media and Communications Department. I was in London FYSAE Spring of 2018 and took a GFS class to Fiji. I am planning on pursuing a career in Public Relations while hopefully writing freelance on the side. 

I spend a lot of my free time writing creatively. In addition to a career in Public Relations, I hope to become a successful author. I love writing stories with queer representation that were hard to find when I was in high school. I have one self-published book I released in the fall of my freshman year and another nearly completed manuscript that I’m editing before I send it out to a publishing house. I also love animals and work part-time at a Petsmart. I have a few pets of my own, including two guinea pigs, a snake, and multiple fish, in addition to the two family dogs that live with my family in Baltimore. 

My creative project is I will be making a print magazine for Loco Mag. It was something I started last Spring, but it ended up not happening because of the pandemic and school closing. It was meant to be commemorative for the 50th edition, so I will be taking articles from every issue the magazine has published and will format them to print.
