Chicago Quarterly Review intern Angela is a second-year student at the University of Chicago. She is double majoring in Economics and Art History.
On campus, she is involved in The Blue Chips, the U of C’s student investment club, Moneythink, a national nonprofit with which she tutors South Side high school students in financial literary, and the University Ballet. She is also founding editor of Dax Magazine, a spontaneous brainchild of hers and some friends that they decided would be the first experimental literary and arts magazine on campus. They figured that if any time were a good time to experiment with uncanny or unexplored method, form, or content…well, college would probably be that time. Prior to Dax, Angela also served as blog editor for on-campus, student-run literary magazine Memoryhouse.
Angela’s adventure with the Chicago Quarterly Review spawned from an innocuous email back in the beginning of April 2013 asking if there was any work she could help with. Five months, tens of submissions, and some pages of HTML later, the time has come for her to bid the magazine goodbye. She is incredibly grateful for having had the opportunity to work firsthand with such a distinctive and high-quality publication. She’d especially like to extend her thanks to head editor Elizabeth McKenzie for mentoring her through and through.
Angela is eager to see what the Chicago Quarterly Review puts together next. She can’t wait to get her hands on a copy of the upcoming issue.
