Humans of Silver Creek Editor
Mindy joined Journalism in her junior year having no idea what she was getting herself into but soon realized her love for the Creek community as the Humans of Silver Creek Editor. Whether it be her extrovertedness or nosiness, she loves to make new friends and learn more about the friendly faces she sees on campus. When she isn't bothering the Editor in Chief, Mindy spends her time binge reading romantic comedies ("The Hating Game" by Sally Thorne is her favorite), singing and songwriting. Outside of these hobbies, her aspiration is to make the world a slightly less terrible place -- one cheesy joke at a time.
