Aubrey Boland is in her senior at Shawnee State University where she will graduate in Spring of 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in English with a Communications Concentration. Boland has hopes of moving to a bigger city and establishing a career in Journalism after college. Boland has always loved to write, but it took her many years to realize that she could turn her passion into a career. Boland wants to inspire others through her writing, and one day she hopes to work for a magazine like Time where she can share her talent for writing with others.

Aside from writing, Boland enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going to coffee shops, and traveling, with her favorite place to visit being San Francisco where she plans to move one day. Boland finds the ever-changing world of social media and mass communication fascinating and enjoys learning about growing usages of technology. Along with her interest in social media, Boland also has a love for the fashion industry and popular culture and wants to find a way to combine her interests in her writing.

Over the past few years, Boland developed a niche for blogging and was fortunate enough to be hired as a guest blogger for a Disney travel agency called "Middle of the Magic.” Boland enjoys a more expressive and conversational writing style because she feels as though this type of writing is accessible to almost everyone. She believes that everyone should be able to read about the topics they are interested in without feeling as though the language is unattainable.

Boland looks forward to having the opportunity to write for the Chronicle and thinks it's great that Shawnee gives aspiring writers the opportunity to gain experience in the world of writing for publication. Writing for the newspaper is important to Boland because it allows other people to see her work as well as other student's work and helps her to put herself, and her writing, out into the world. She hopes that, through writing for the Chronicle, she will improve upon her skills and become more confident as a writer.
