Paige
Nestel, Opinions/Business & Government Editor:
Paige Nestel is a sophomore Journalism/Professional
Writing major with a minor in Sociology at The College of New Jersey. In addition
to her work at unbound, she is a staff writer for The Signal, TCNJ’s
student newspaper. Although she spends most of her time stalking journalism websites
in search of a dream internship or job at Cosmo, she makes sure to save
room in her ambitious and busy schedule for weekly OC/Seth Cohen parties, trips
to Panera, and massive amounts of flip-flop shopping.
Jenise Beaman, Health Editor:
Jenise Beaman is a junior Journalism/Professional Writing major at The College
of New Jersey. She has been involved in writing for her high school newspaper
as well as TCNJ's student paper, The Signal. Her other interests include
reading, writing, and watching football and basketball in addition to politics.
Nicole Grieco, Arts & Leisure Editor:
Nicole Grieco is a junior English major with minors in Creative Writing and Women's
and Gender Studies, so she hopes to have a job of some kind when she graduates.
She is a member of WILL, Sigma Tau Delta, Ink, and The Siren. She loves her friends,
the internet, and Johnny Depp, in roughly that order.
Nicole
Levins, Features Editor:
Nicole Levins is a sophomore Professional Writing/Journalism major who is
also pursuing an as-of-yet undeclared minor in Women's and Gender Studies. She
has written for local publications since high school, and her extreme hatred of
spelling/grammatical errors earned her the position of copy editor for Pitman
High School's student newspaper. Levins is a member of the Progressive Student
Alliance, and she would be a part of College Democrats if they'd respond to her
e-mails. When not writing or doing disgusting amounts of homework, Levins can
usually be found arguing with conservatives, checking random away messages, or
reading Jane magazine.
