Editor’s note: As part of a media transparency initiative, on Aug. 20, 2018, The Collegian spent the first day of publishing of the year telling our readers about us. You can read more about the people behind our publication in the Editor’s Blog.

Natalia Sperry is The Collegian news editor for the 2018-2019 school year.

Sperry is a sophomore English major with dual concentrations in literature and creative writing and is minoring in technical and science communication. She is also a member of the University Honors Program and is the 2018-2019 webmaster for the Collegian.

After getting a taste for journalism in her senior year of high school, Sperry knew she wanted to pursue a job at The Collegian from the moment she committed to Colorado State University. She did not, however, anticipate developing such a love for the news desk in particular.

While English continues to be her passion, her time as a reporter on the news desk taught her the value of community journalism, something she hopes to continue to provide as an editor.

Sperry enjoys writing event coverage and covered the weekly Associated Students of Colorado State University meetings as a freshman reporter.
