About the Contributor
Desiree Stuckey, Social Media Editor
Desiree Stuckey’s love for photography and journalism began when she was a small child being “chased by paparazzi.” She was constantly shocked by how her aunt could take hundreds of pictures in just a few hours. She didn’t know this yet, but ten years later, she would have her own camera and a memory card holding thousands of her own photos. Desiree is one of the most anti-social people you’ll ever meet, so it’s quite shocking to everyone that she acquired such a strong love for journalism. She has a permanent tint of red on her cheeks due to embarrassment, and she’s constantly stuttering over simple words. She’s on Twitter and Snapchat about 75% of the time, and complains about her clammyness 100% of the time. This is Desiree’s second year on the newspaper staff, and she can’t wait to see what’s in store for her as the social media editor.
