Jamie Linton, Brand Manager

Hey! I’m Jamie and I’m an advertising major (with minors in Psychology and Public Relations) from the north side of Chicago. I’ve been at the DI since the very first month of freshman year and, currently, I’m the Brand Manager! In the past I’ve served as an opinions columnist, was part of the social media team and just finished up my term as Assistant Opinions Editor. When I’m not at the office I’m in a coffee shop working on a freelance marketing project or trying new restaurants with my roommates.
