Maddie Howard is a Chicago native and sophomore student double majoring in Journalism and English. She’s also the Sports Editor this semester, which is fitting because she is a player on the NYU women’s soccer team. Go Violets! When she’s not sprinting from practice to her next class, you can find her hiding in bookstores and sipping iced coffee. She’s also still desperately trying to figure out which pizza she likes better, Chicago deep dish or New York thin slices. If you’re interested in a lot of feminist propaganda and self-promotion, follow her on twitter. (@maddiehoward34)
