Abbey Whelan, Voices Editor

Abbey is a Gallatin senior researching the socio-cultural impacts of media and its potential for education and social change. She is minoring in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies and loves getting paid to play games with children. When she isn’t oversharing on the internet, Abbey is either reading a cheesy YA novel, doing an elaborate jigsaw puzzle or critiquing your favorite TV show. She is a Los Angeles native and typical California girl, despite her best efforts. If you can’t find her in Washington Square Park writing in one of many pink notebooks, check Instagram and Twitter @abbeyjowhelan.
