Alayna VanDoeselaar is the Editor-in-Chief for Her Campus at MSU. This is her third year with HCMSU, and she is looking forward to taking on a new role and building relationships within the chapter!
Alayna is a junior at Michigan State University double majoring in English with a concentration in creative writing and Professional and Public Writing. She loves writing lifestyle articles that are fun or that make you think (or sometimes both!). When she's not writing for Her Campus, she loves to write short stories and poetry. She hopes to go into editing, publishing, and writing in her future career.
In her free time, Alayna loves to read, write, look for new music to listen to, and go thrifting. Her favorite book right now is The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong, and her favorite music artists are Billie Eilish, Lorde, Ariana Grande, and the Marias. She can be found on Instagram at @alaynavand.
