Jerica Shuck

Majored in English - Professional Writing, Minored in Communications
Elizabethtown College, Class of 2018
From Huntingdon, PA

What do I want to get out of being in the writing and editing/publishing field? I want to help other people reach their goals through publication as I reach mine through helping others. My experiences as a professional writing major and a communications minor equip me with the necessary skills to help me help others. I improve my interpersonal skills every day, whether it be through interactions with my peer group, on stage or in practice as a part of Mad Cow Improv, or those in the Writing Center at Elizabethtown College.
