About Us

Dani Elliott 
Dani Elliott
Dani Elliott is Washington native who has traded the green mountains of the Northwest for the arguably dead ones of Utah because Utah State University gave her a fancy paper with the word scholarship on it. Elliott is a junior at USU who is currently studying Journalism and Women and Gender Studies. Her plan is to go into print journalism and write for a music magazine. Her favorite genre of music is metal (although she loves everything except for country) and her dream job is to work for Revolver Magazine or Alternative Press Magazine. When Elliott isn’t spending hours on her homework or working mediocre retail jobs she enjoys reading, playing video games, listening to music and spending time with her boyfriend, Netflix.




Amanda Grover
Amanda Grover is an aspiring journalist with a particular fondness for travel blogging. She spent the last four months studying International Journalism in Milan, Italy, where her soft spot for nutella-anything (gelato, brioches, cereal, etc.) and other fine cuisine became apparent, along with her affections for exploring the world and its people. Grover is finishing her junior at Utah State University in the Honors Program, after which she intends to pursue a graduate degree and freelance on the web. Grover enjoys traveling, writing music, photography, social media and hiking with her fiancé. If she's not at work or trudging through academics, you'll find her planning her next adventure.
 




Claire Hubbard 
Claire Hubbard is half way through her 20th year of life and is loving every crazy second of it. Hubbard is a sophomore at Utah State University, who plans to graduate with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Communication Studies. She recently returned from a semester abroad in Milan, Italy, where she studied International Journalism and fell in love with living a spontaneous lifestyle. Among her many passions are traveling, eating, writing, photography, boating and hiking. Hubbard is a self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseur, although her dear mother considers her to be a raging chocoholic.  To balance out her obscene chocolate consumption, Hubbard loves to run and recently signed up for SLC's Half Marathon in April. She is currently accepting prayers and well wishes in her behalf for the upcoming race.



Taylor Emerson

Taylor Emerson is studying to achieve a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science at Utah State University. He is enthusiastic about the football and a self-proclaimed diehard San Diego Chargers fan. If you happen to be around him on Sundays, you will meet his animated and emotional side as he watches his team. When he’s not screaming at the television, he enjoys the outdoors, as well as creating art, whether it be through Graphic Arts, or Ceramics. He is passionate about self-improvement by any means necessary, be that academics or the gym. Taylor is a proud American, and is considering joining the armed forces in the near future. He strives to be the best he can be, and he’s always ready for more.
