Jessica Auville – Correspondent

Jessica is a 20 year old, Nash-loyal, student of English and film. She’s got a serious addiction to vocabulary, and challenge.  When she isn’t film-making, writing slam-poetry, or singing she’s searching for new ways to experience the world around her. At times that comes in a social form, and at other times it’s filled with nature. She also admits to checking for updates on “ANIMALS TALKING IN ALL CAPS” more than once day. As far as a summary goes – she has a difficult time choosing between one of two phrases: “There’s always a bright side as long as I’m creating.”, or “Please tell me immediately where I can find strong coffee.”
