Nooneh is a second-year studying English with a minor in Professional Writing right here in our little college town. After business hours, you’ll find her in a field, stargazing and searching the skies for UFOs. Though an editor by trade, and a writer by passion, she’s still trying to find the right words to describe herself and her work.
John Yarbrough
Editor-in-Chief of Production

John is a second-year English and Japanese major. When he isn’t piled under homework, you’ll often find him in the quiet of his room, reading, or on the track, racing go-karts. Though he’d never call himself a poet, John has a deep love for reading and writing poetry. In fact, you’ll never catch him without one of his several travel journals and a pencil ready in hand.
