Tess was a senior majoring in English. She transferred from Roanoke college as a sophomore and found a love for writing because of her wonderful journalism professors. Through her college career, she found a passion for marketing and photography which allowed her to apply her writing skills into photo-journalism as well. Tess spent her last semester doing a fellowship with Cortico, a non-profit organization through MIT, working to foster constructive public conversation to build a better understanding of one another. Cortico is a non-profit within MIT Media Lab that strives to build systems that bring under-heard community voices and stories to the public. Tess was very excited about the semester in Boston and hopes to end up in the city after she graduates!
