Elizabeth Dickson, Staff Writer
What interests you about journalism?
I have always wanted to pursue a career where I can develop my writing skills, so when I entered college I began trying several ways of writing. I went to poetry classes, fiction writing, and now journalism.
What are you doing when you aren't at The Clipper?
When I’m not at The Clipper, I am watching tv shows with my younger siblings, reading books, listening to podcasts, or creating art however I can, may it be through paints, water color, paper cutting, string, music, word, or any other material I can get my hands on. When I can, I love to go rock climbing, skiing, biking, snorkeling, and hiking.
What is something that people are obsessed with you just don’t get?
Being “normal”. Normal sounds so boring.
