Outside of Her Campus, Jaiden was honored with the Changemaker Award from the University of Cincinnati’s Women’s Center, recognizing her leadership and impact on campus. She is also a contributing writer for Dreamgirlworld Zine and is part of both the Her Campus InfluenceHER Collective and Campus Trendsetters.

When she’s not writing articles or editing for her chapter, Jaiden is working on her debut novel. She enjoys rewatching early 2000s rom-coms or diving into her latest hockey romance novel obsession. She’s passionate about magazine media, digital storytelling, and building community through content. Her dream job? Working behind the scenes for a magazine.
