Megan McConnell is a sophomore journalism and psychology double major from Kansas City.
She originally joined TMS at the onset of her freshman year as a writer for Campus & Community. Although Megan continues to write for the section, she is also the Social Media Editor for TMS, which allows her to combine her passion for writing, designing and interacting with readers.
Outside of the newsroom, Megan is either listening to far too much Taylor Swift, watching Downton Abbey or studying at Kofenya – with her second iced chai in hand, of course.
Additionally, Megan hopes to join more clubs and on-campus activities over the course of the next year.
