Hello! My name is Iona Clark and I am a staff writer for Her Campus Temple University chapter within the opinion section. Aside from Her Campus, I am the digital editor Refine Magazine, a womens-run magazine on campus, and I write stories for Refine within the other sections of the magazine. Additionally, I write the news briefs for Temple UpdateNow which consists of me reading a news story and condensing it down to a few sentences to be used in the visual segment of UpdateNow. This summer, I interned at Root Quarterly, an arts and culture review magazine in Old City. I became the editorial assistant of the magazine after my internship program ended. I am currently a junior majoring in Journalism.
In my free time, I enjoy working out, running, and volunteering at a local animal shelter in Northern Liberties called Street Tails Animal Rescue. I love listening to new music, exploring the city, and traveling to new places. I am very passionate about creating change and informing people about what is going on in the world, and I hope to go into the investigative journalism field after graduating.
