My name is The Whitney Morris and I am currently a junior at Utica College. My recently declared major is Public Relations & Journalism. Prior to that, I was a Broadcast Journalism major for two years. I observed my passion for writing while I was in high school and started out by writing songs, poetry and even started writing my own book. As I transitioned from high school to college, my writing became more academic/professional focused. Nonetheless, I have managed to acquire a balance between freestyle and academic writing while maintaining my passion for writing overall. I will be covering the food section on the website.
