Growing up locally in Houghton I have enjoyed being a part of this town and now my college community. At college I stay busy as a member of the Soccer Team, Print Matters Press, Freshmen Honors Program, and working at the Campus Store. I am declared as an art and psychology double major as of now, though I feel quite certain that English will replace one of those two. Writing for the Star has given me an opportunity to practice my writing and editing skills, while at the same time learning to critically analyze art and culture in the world around us today.
