About
I am a senior majoring in Communications with a double concentration in journalism and film. One of my dreams is to travel the world and report news with a cup of coffee (or two) in hand. I have worked for USA TODAY and WJHL-TV, and recently interned in Washington, D.C. In my free time I love to run, munch on sweet potato anything, sip lattes with friends and watch indie films.

I’m Bailey Hight! I am a senior psychology major with a minor in communications. I am a Saint Louis native, so of course I love frozen custard. I also love food and excessive amounts of coffee. Next to Jesus, my main source of joy is my nephew. One day I’ll make it to Ireland, and it’ll be grand.

As a lively international business major I am excited to bring my business "cents" to The Stampede. I am from Morristown, TN, not too far down the road and thoroughly enjoy the mountain air of East Tennessee. I love playing music with my little sister and exploring the Tri-Cities area with friends. Nothing is more exciting than finding a new hole-in-the-wall restaurant!
I am a freshman Humanities major with a concentration in faith and the arts and a Theatre Arts minor. I hail from the great state of California. I enjoy popcorn, large amounts of caffeine, and traveling all over the place. Yeah, I'm pretty rad.

I have a passion for video and photography. I enjoy shooting video and taking photos, but I really enjoy editing them as well. I like to build computers, and have built my own machine to edit photos and videos on. This summer I will be interning at a camp and will be helping with their Digital Media team. I also enjoy fishkeeping.

I’m a senior Communications major with a Mission’s minor. My life goal is to become a Disney princess, but I’ve been told that’s not very realistic so I’m becoming a missionary. The great loves of my life are Chaco’s, reading, superhero movies, and adventures. I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar. You can usually find me hanging in my ENO, watching Netflix, or trying not to get sunburnt.

This is my fourth semester reporting for the Stampede, and I previously served as TV producer in the fall of 2015. I also manage WUMC, the campus radio station and run live sound at my church.
