Madelynn Prieboy, Editor

Madelynn Prieboy joined The Phoenix as its Page Designer in Spring of 2019. She is currently a Junior in GSU’s Fine Arts Program who transferred from Joliet Junior College in Fall of 2019. Madelynn has an interest in graphic design and journalism but will always stay close to her love of illustration and doodling in the margins of her notes. Though she will mainly handle the design aspect of the paper, Madelynn hopes to reach out to the students and staff of GSU for important and diverse perspectives for future stories. Madelynn can be reached at [email protected]
