gwendolyn faith is not a crayon.

Hello, I’m Gwen.

I work in advertising. I play in the kitchen.

I’m part tweenager. (Look at my iTunes playlist.)

I’m part Grandma. (Look at my oversize cardi collection.)

I’m part Romy or Michelle. (Look at the height of my hair.)

I love the Lord even more than I love cheese. So, a lot.

I wish my life were a musical, but other than that, I’m pretty content.

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.
