She hopes to one day possibly be an editor while simultaneously working in the automotive industry. She loves to write both poetry and fiction, draw, and take her dogs on walks. When she is not in school, she can be found at local car meets, working, sleeping, and spending time with her friends and family.

Hayden Pham (They/He): Hayden is a writer studying Business & Technical Professional Writing and Philosophy at Western Connecticut State University. He makes and appreciates art and music. When they aren’t creating content, they can be found gaming, gardening, or getting lost in the woods.

 

Ricardo Machado (He/Him): Ricardo is currently studying Professional Writing with a focus in Business and Technical Writing at WCSU. He is also pursuing a minor in Sports Media. On his own time, he shares an active interest in soccer, movies, computers, and gaming. An unhealthy obsession of his is attempting to watch every movie that Willem Dafoe has taken part in.

Meaghan Canavan (She/They): Meaghan is an avid enjoyer of all things creative such as music, art, and writing. She is a big fan of cozy games and indie content. Meaghan has worked on multiple campus publications and hopes to pursue publishing in the future, so they look forward to helping young creatives take some of their first steps towards sharing their work!

 

Timothy Froessel (He/Him): Timothy is a Professional Writing major concentrating on Creative Writing at WCSU. When not talking to himself about the New York Islanders, he can be found listening to Beach House or looking at cute pictures of bears on the internet.

Jourdan Davis (He/Him): Jourdan has enrolled as a WCSU Creative Writing major to learn the skills he needs to write and produce books for the enjoyment of others. In his free time, he likes to learn new things and go to further lengths to research various topics he finds fascinating. These topics are history, technology, writing tips, and music. He will do whatever he needs to ace this semester! 

 

Pleasant M. Paschael (She/Her): Pleasant is a Professional Writing major with a concentration in Journalism and Public Relations.

She will also continue her education to receive her MFA to become a writing professor. 

 

Zachary Rozell (He/Him): Zachary is a Professional Writing major with a minor in Art at WCSU. He enjoys long walks on the beach and piña coladas. He’s a rootin’-tootin’ cowboy in the metaphorical sense. And when he’s not lassoing letters (writing) he’s hanging out with friends or listening to some alt-rock tunes. With the seemingly great legacy of The Howl, he hopes he can prop up the platform the best he can.
