About the Contributors
Julia Dean, Digital Media Asst. Editor In Chief
I enjoy editing and creating stories through Digital Media, I get to connect with the community and other students about their passions. I love building connections and digging deeper into topics as well. Because I plan on going into sports broadcasting, I feel that this is a great way to experiment with types of coverage.
