Hello! My name is Gwen Daniels. I’m the girl with the bold lipstick and big hair.
As a master’s candidate at the Missouri School of Journalism, I am in the throes of my thesis, an analysis of young adults’ identity performance, especially through brand and product mentions, on online dating websites.
Although my cheerleading career ended before middle school, I also write for Justine and American Cheerleader magazines.
And this summer, I’ll begin my first big-girl job.
A lifelong learner, I bury my nose in books about anything from educational policy or food science to behavioral economics or social inequality.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, shopping and singing. And watching a little too much Hulu Plus.
I am always on the lookout for a new book recommendation, a new cocktail ring and a new brunch partner.
