Pamela Jew, Under the Arch Managing Editor

Pamela Jew is the Managing Editor of WSN’s magazine, Under the Arch, and a junior in Gallatin studying ‘Community Through Commodity’ with a Anthropology minor. For a hot conversation starter, ask her about the summer she spent watching over 200 hours of Jake Paul videos because it’s every day bro. She’s from a town in the suburban outskirts of Atlanta, lovingly referred to as ‘The Bubble,’ but to burst your bubble, she unfortunately (or fortunately) doesn’t have a southern accent. You’ll find her social media if you hunt.
