About the Author

Hello! My name is Jerriann and like that giant heading at the top says, I love journalism. I believe that good journalism has the power to inform people and, at its best, help them understand the other 7 billion individuals on the planet.

I love other things, too, like traveling, reading and eating delicious food.

I am a writer, blogger and journalist. Outside of that, I'm just a high energy gal with a positive presence and an endless supply of enthusiasm for all things creative.

Star Student, Mother of 5 Graduates

One of the things I like most about UCF is that people from diverse backgrounds make up the student body. I was terrified to work on the college newspaper after creating a successful career in advertising. Will everyone be 18? Will they think I know nothing? Will I make friends when I am older than everyone?

Obviously I had a fabulous time at UCF and was extremely lucky to land a job while still finishing classes. And I am always proud of other non-traditional students for doing the same thing. Can you imagine having FIVE kids and then returning to college? Me either.
