Staff Directory

Editor-in-Chief
Brooke Burger

I am a senior studying English with a concentration in writing and journalism. I did not choose journalism. I stumbled upon it, and now I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is … more journalism.

Managing Editor
Richard Todd Kelley

I am the proud father of two boys Richard Louis Kelley and Ethan Kyle Kelley. My sole excuse for being in journalism is that the rest of the world would not have me. Such things as revolution and paganism are looked down upon by the rest of the world; so I had to go where people know people are all the same. That’s right; I wanna go where everyone knows my name (thank you Cheers theme song).

Commentary Editor
Karie Fay

This Yankee who walks to the beat of a different drummer is a Senior Psychology/Criminal Justice student. Between a 9-year-old son, a boyfriend and being crazy, she stays busy. And crazy…

Staff Writer
Chad Newton

Reason why I joined The Voice? Do you want my masked answer? I just want to learn more about journalism, or do you want my true intentions of joining and maybe one day throwing these lying ass, deceitful mainstream (FOX NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS) media journalists under the Titanic in the cold waters of Antarctica?
