Hey everyone, I'm Jayme! I am a senior pursuing a double major of psychology and forensic investigations. Even though it's not tied to either of my majors, I joined Student Media because of my appreciation for journalism and the people in the field. I work as a content creator, copy editor and the editor-in-chief for Indigo Magazine. After graduating, I plan to pursue a graduate degree in forensic science and a job within that career field.
