Editor-in-Chief
Pat is a senior journalism/professional writing major, English minor at The College of New Jersey. Pat has been working with unbound since his sophomore year when Professor Pearson made him do it as part of her Magazine Writing class. When not working on (now voluntary of course) unbound -related things, Pat enjoys over-analyzing his existence, watching cartoons, acting with TCNJ's All College Theatre, and sleeping when he really should be doing work. Pat is currently planning to either attend grad school following graduation in May, or return to Ocular Surgery News where in the summer he learned more about eye bacteria than anyone should really know.
Managing Editor/Public Relations Manager/Assistant Photo Editor
Katie Pagliara is the Managing Editor of unbound, a senior Communication Studies major, and Professional Writing minor at The College of New Jersey. For the past two years, she has mastered the position of Public Relations Manager, but decided it was time to branch out. While she keeps her links and photo ideas all organized, Katie still uses her Public Relations skills by making and posting flyers for unbound's various uploads and updates. Losing sleep over getting a job after graduation is her favorite activity at the moment, but she also enjoys watching Disney movies and listening to Christmas music - to keep her sane of course. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work and dedication!
Copy Editor
Melanie is a freshman English major at The College of New Jersey. This is her first year being a part of unbound. She aspires to be an editor or any position working with a hockey team. While she's not editing for unbound (and the rest of the Wellness floor), Melanie enjoys going to Trenton Titans hockey games at the Sovereign Bank Arena. She also plays bass drum in the Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps.
Photo Editor/Assistant Lifestyles Editor
Mirjana Jojic is a sophomore double major in biology and English here at TCNJ. She found Unbound one afternoon when she was stumbling around after an all-night Orgo cram session. The place looked fun, so she decided to get involved with the publication and now works as photo editor. When she's not busy snapping pictures of people's "good sides", Mirjana is out saving lives as an EMT on LionsEMS, the campus 911-response squad. Her other hobbies include being active with Habitat for Humanity, traveling to her home country of Yugoslavia , and Mario Tennis (Koopa Paratroopa is her favorite). Mirjana has aspirations of going to medical school, and hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon because she loves medicine and people. It also doesn't hurt that green scrubs bring out her eyes.
Arts & Leisure Editor
If it weren't for Diet Pepsi, late-night popcorn binges, and thoughts of Bret Michaels, Jessica Thompson would have given up on all the editing. The senior journalism/professional writing major, and arts and leisure editor plans on going to law school after TCNJ so she can fulfill her fantasy of being more like Ally McBeal.
Opinions and Business and Government Section Editor
Ben Samara, a sophomore journalism major, is in his first year working as both Opinions and Business & Government editor of unbound. Samara has been writing professionally since high school and has spent time working for the Princeton University athletic department, YES Network, and ESPN. He currently writes for www.ivyleaguesports.com during the year and spends his summers there as an intern. When not working on unbound or writing, Samara can usually be found playing video games on his futon for hours on end or "dunking on fools" in intramural basketball.
