Jamison Joyce, Staff Writer

My name is Jamison Joyce and I am a senior. This is my fourth year on the Ruff Draft. In addition to writing for the newspaper, I’ve run as a sprinter for the track and field program since my freshman year. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, playing video games and spending time with my friends. My favorite types of articles to write are reviews over movies and albums and sports columns. I’m very excited to write for the Ruff Draft this year!
