Bailey Zimmer

Hello! My name is Bailey Zimmer, I am the News Editor for the Sputnik! I am a fourth year English student with a minor in professional writing. I absolutely love news writing because I am so undeniably nosey, and I get to find out all the news around campus first hand, and deliver that to my readers! I love being able to share information in a creative way! My favourite pastime is going out with my friends, and making new friends!
