Alexandra MacDonald is a third-year journalism major with a minor in creative fiction writing. She’s been working with Rocky Mountain Student Media for about a year writing for the opinion desk and has loved absolutely every second of it. The community and connection in student media is what really drew her in, and she’s happily become a part of it. She loves working on the editorial team and getting to know every facet going into the production of a student-run newspaper, and she aspires to continue doing this after she graduates.

Alex lives with three of her great friends and is a huge bookworm and a runner when she can spend the time. A secret passion of hers is studying the intricacies of language and communication. At home, she has a lovely cat named Olly, and if you ask, she’ll probably show you a picture. As the opinion editor, this year she really hopes to bring some unique perspectives to the opinion desk and make sure everyone feels heard.
