Rebecca is proud to be graduating with an English degree, fulfilling a dream that she had since she was a fifth grader who was obsessed with Percy Jackson and reading. Originally from Topeka, Kansas, Rebecca is so thankful to have found a home in Chicago. Rebecca spent her four years at DePaul working in Orientation and Admissions, assisting Professor Paul Booth in his research, and making magic at the Disney Store. Having the chance to read Jane Eyre made the English major all worth it for her.
Rebecca will continue her education at DePaul in the 5-year graduate program, earning her Master’s in Media and Communications with a focus in Media and Cinema Studies, in hopes that she can teach as a Media Studies professor one day. In the meantime, she is working at Barnes and Noble where she can continue to share her love of reading with everyone who dares to listen.
