Abbey Delk is a junior from Wheeling, West Virginia, double majoring in English and journalism and minoring in film & television. Her career at the Ram began last year in the News section when she had no idea what she was doing. Luckily, she’s learned from the best (thanks Sarah Huffman) and is excited to keep learning as News Editor for Volume 103. She apologizes to her roommates in advance for late nights and stress-induced singing.
