I'm a junior in communication, specializing in rhetoric and public communication. I'm from good ol' southern Illinois, and I'm grateful to be experiencing some sort of human civilization here in Champaign-Urbana. I love learning about current social, political, and environmental issues in the world, and then telling people about them who honestly couldn't care less. Attending the University of Illinois has changed my life, given me some incredible new friends and given me countless amazing experiences and opportunities. I'm thoroughly looking forward everything yet to come.
