Hi, I'm Lawson! I'm a Sophomore at UNG  Gainesville studying Multimedia Journalism. I fell in love with writing and storytelling when I was fourteen; since then, journalism has become my passion. I love to learn and make information accessible to all. When I'm not writing, I'm busy listening to Taylor Swift and re-watching Gilmore Girls.
