Jessica Barker, Vanderbilt University, (she/her)
Jessica Barker is currently a senior in Vanderbilt University’s College of Arts & Sciences where she created her own major. Originally, she thought she wanted to be an English major, but realized that she was more interested in the ways policy, mass rhetoric, and mediated speech intersect and influence each other. She served as the Editor in Chief of The Vanderbilt Hustler during her junior year and is currently a freelance researcher for CNNs The Row, where she independently verifies reporting across CNN’s platforms. In what little free time she has, she likes to garden, bake, and read. You can find her on instagram and twitter @jessmbark
