It’s a full-circle experience of how I connected with Square Magazine—through social media. Having been involved with 4Memphis Magazine throughout high school, I knew I wanted to get involved with a publication as soon as I arrived on the Ole Miss campus. I was scrolling through Instagram during the early days of my freshman year when I saw an Instagram post about a student-run fashion magazine on campus.

I was totally in.

I contacted the magazine, sent over my resume, and asked how I could get involved ASAP—even as a new student on campus. I was involved + in leadership ever since that moment. The magazine grew from a digital magazine to an annual print publication.

I served in several positions and contributed over the years, such as Managing Editor, Digital Copy Editor, and Social Media Director. I am grateful to have had a creative outlet during college. Meeting and collaborating with many creatives through Square Magazine was an amazing experience. I am grateful for the integration of print and digital media and our modern understanding of the power of both mediums.
