Jerilyn Garrett, Editor
Jerilyn Garrett is a senior in her fourth year at Shawnee State University, majoring in English/Humanities with a concentration in Communications. After working with various forms of media like writing and photography throughout high school, she knew this was the area for her to study because of her enjoyment in the creation and spreading of ideas. Once graduated in the fall of 2022, Jerilyn plans to pursue a career in the mass media or publishing field.
Writing for the Chronicle has allowed Jerilyn to improve upon her writing and learn more about the hidden world around her. She has not only gained experience related to her major, but also became a more confident writer.
