JORDYN JOHNSON
West Virginia University Journalism Student
About Me
I am a very ambitious and hard working student who has experience in writing and research, computer programming, and maintaining high levels of academics. I am looking to further enhance my writing skills by majoring in journalism at West Virginia University and by getting involved in organizations that will help me become a better writer. After obtaining my undergraduate degree, I would like to attend law school and pursue a career working in the entertainment spectra of the legal field. Aside from being a strong student, I am also very active outside of the classroom. I spend any free time I have occupied with sports, working and volunteering in my community. I personally feel as though I am a well-rounded person and student and will be very successful in my future.
