A Hidden Gem: Meet Maria Henson

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

This week’s profile section was a pleasure for me to… film.  Maria Henson, the Associate Vice President and Editor-at-Large, taught one of my journalism classes last semester.  Not only is she a one-of-a-kind professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist but a personal mentor of mine — and should be for anyone interested in pursuing a career in journalism.  Please check out the clips below and join me in celebrating one of the hidden gems on our campus.

Kelsey Garvey is a junior English major at Wake Forest University. Her upbringing in Connecticut, otherwise known as country club land, inspired her to write in order to escape and locate something more. Writing has also acted as her outlet to dabble in subjects far beyond her my intellectual capacity: art, culture, design, fashion, photography, and music. Other than reading Vogue and Vanity Fair cover-to-cover, Kelsey enjoys frequenting the blogosphere, speaking franglais in daily conversation, and laughing at her own pathetic jokes. Feel free to email her with any questions or comments.
