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.

Self written biographies–I always struggle with them. My goal is to not come across too pretentious,  but not too lack luster either. That should give some insight personality wise already. I’m a 21 year old Public Relations and Journalism student (senior) in Utica area. Originally being from the city, I’ve only recently grown accustom to the local deer that perch outside my window.  I’ll be covering the topic of education and all it’s joys.

My name is Tionna DeFreitas, I am a junior at Utica College studying broadcast journalism, in hopes of becoming an entertainment correspondent in the future. I was born and raised In Utica, New York located in the heart of central New York. I have a treasured love with my hometown and take pride in the city of Utica. There’s a lot of nooks and crannies to this city that not everyone notices. My dreams in becoming an entertainment correspondent started back my junior year of high school, I was good at writing, but did not like writing, so I said why not take it a bit further and involve writing with things I enjoy the most. Anything related to fashion, makeup or celebrity news are right up my alley. My dream job would have to be a correspondent on E! News. I enjoy writing, but enjoy talking just as much and what better way to pursue a career involving those two things other than working for E! in my spare time I enjoy cooking, crafting shopping, watching Grey’s Anatomy and hanging with my pups.
