Managing Editor | Jordan Jean Denise Banana Melendrez was born in Upland, CA to a night time political analyst/pretend pundit, Scott, and a full time socialite/ super-heroine, Kelly Melendrez. Since birth she has thrived on 4 hours of sleep thanks to the phanny pack of caffeine that is intravenously given throughout the day. She enjoys running, walking, exploring and generally going places (so long as she can do it quickly). A lover of all things paper-back she read through her local library by the age of 4 and has been solving the NY Times crossword blindfolded for a little over 2 years now. She has a passion for journalism and during WSN’s hiatus has been blogging for the Politics section of the New York Daily News. Ever heard of it? It is in New York. When not slaving away at a newspaper or pouring over drafts on her Mac she is sending telepathic messages to her twin-brother-separated-by-15-months, Jacob.
