I am Kelsey Rzepecki and have lived in the beautiful Pacific Northwest all of my life. Originally from Seattle, WA, I have lived in Beaverton, OR for most of my childhood. I am in love with the diverse amounts of activities the Northwest has to offer from hiking, the ocean, and even the mass amounts of rain that make it worth it when the lush green foliage emerges in the fall.

A recent graduate from the University of Oregon majoring in Journalism and Communication studies.

In a nutshell, I consider myself to be a complete music and media junky. Ever since my first CD, which was NSYNC, I was hooked. I love music for the fact that it creates a bond and sense of understanding within everyone, regardless of culture and religion; it is an art and language that anyone can connect with.

The ever-changing world the media is taking journalism is something that makes me excited and curious about the world and how information in disseminated. As a journalist, I feel it is an honor to be able to be the one to contribute to the communication of information and stories to the world effecting the lives of those individuals in society day-to-day. I have found that the skills of communication and interviewing is essential in every aspect of journalism and carries on as an essential skill that will always be important and necessary in everyday life.

My professional goals for the future are to become a become a music/entertainment journalist and promotor for a major music publication or company. I eventually want to explore the promotional and marketing aspect of journalism and media.
