Tori Brown is a 22-year-old junior from Franklin Furnace, Ohio, majoring in adolescent to young adult English and language arts. She found inspiration to teach from family members who work in the field, including her mother, and hopes to one day carry the torch at one of our local schools.

Tori has always had a love for journalism and looks forward to bringing the community together in reporting local holiday events. She plans to incorporate this passion for journalism as she moves into teaching, by encouraging and participating in school newspapers.

Outside of studying, Tori loves to read, hike and hang out with family, which is a big part of the reason she decided to stay local and attend Shawnee State University. She also loves to travel and boasts an astounding record of attending over 40 concerts within a single year, including but not limited to Avenged Sevenfold, Elton John, Rob Zombie, and Foo Fighters.
