My name is Maggie Barry, and I am a freshman at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am a News and Life on Campus staff writer who covers a wide range of topics, including events, organizations, and more.
I was a journalist for my high school’s newspaper for 3 years and was placed in the position of the Sports Section Editor. Additionally, I completed the AP Capstone and AP Seminar courses, which has helped shape me into the writer I am today.
A big part of my life is the show South Park; most of the gifts I receive are pieces of merchandise from the show. I lived in Okinawa, Japan, for 7 years and miss it every day. My parents enjoyed traveling the world as well, and I think that all the different cultures, people, and languages that I became aware of at such a young age have helped me keep an open mind, which made me explore writing. I am also part of Temple’s WHIP radio station and part of the school's book club as well. I love to read and write, and share my personal life experiences with different people. I look forward to meeting this new community.
