CONTRIBUTOR

Jessica Watts is the Coordinator of Outreach, Programs and Partnerships at the Greater Sudbury Public Library. Her job usually involves the parts of the public library that people don’t associate with libraries like snowshoes, theatre passes and special events. She loves talking about books, especially over a caramel latte at Salute, and is always in the middle of reading 2 or 3 books at a time.. or, more honestly, 4 or 5!

Daniel

CAMPUS & CULTURE GURU

Daniel Melchior’s body no longer pumps blood but pure espresso. Your go-to guy for anything Laurentian, you can always find him on campus, coffee cup in hand. He’s packed his schedule with so much some say he cloned himself to do it all – we think so too.

Isabelle

Processed with VSCO with 3 preset

CONTRIBUTOR

Isabelle Roy is an HK student at Laurentian University, fueled by coffee and sarcasm with an absurd love for Ben Howard.  If she isn’t found belting out karaoke, you can assume she is drinking good wine with her dog. The only thing she loves more than chili cheese fries from Tucos is Miles Teller.  

Brittany

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTRIBUTOR

Brittany is a Public Relations student at Cambrian College. If you see her without a coffee it is likely an evil clone, not to be trusted. In Brittany’s spare time she is a foster mom to rescue dogs and fur mom to two dogs of her own. If she’s not running a mile-a-minute she’s probably planning a trip, climbing a mountain, submersed in social media, or enjoying a book — all while covered in dog hair and fueled by coffee.
